Under the usual circumstances I would 100% agree with you. I dont trust EA one bit. However this project was completely executed alongside the community with 100% transparency , the level you saw are things we got to see first hand and dont forget the years of documented conversations on literally everything in the game , they cant get away with a bait and switch and they gained community trust for this project. Can you honestly say that WC:R was developed in a similar fashion ?
This is what Im trying to highlight, can you imagine how much community support Blizzard would’ve gotten if they took a similar approach to WC:R ? They certainly wouldn’t be apologizing to us “not getting the remaster we wanted”.
