saddest part about overwatch falling off is seeing your favorite overwatch youtuber gang and seeing the girls (mercy mains/ support mains) open up only fans cuz overwatch was the only reason they were famous
You can only be the best for so long and when you’re a company there’s really no value to cashing out while you’re ahead, you just cash out ‘til you’re dead instead.
All of these arguments fall completely apart, when you compare Blizzard, to Activision Blizzard. They are not the same company, they are not the same developers, and they are not the same owners. Everyone who was at Blizzard, has left Blizzard a long time ago. The entire purpose of Activision Blizzard, is to churn out products using the Blizzard name. That's it. That's all it is. You cannot compare Blizzard to Activision Blizzard any more than you can compare an apple to a hamburger.
There really still is no other game that controls as smooth as OW yet, I just tried the finals, and while it is cool, the movement just does not feel right. I can only hope that OW2 becomes what it is supposed to be.
22:19 Just because you think HotS was crap didn't mean all the teams and commentators deserved to find out via Twitter that they were out of work literal days before the Esports season was about to start.
This is the problem with most modern games. Theyre run by investors and execs who are solely in it for the money, the people who actually care and have a lot of passion for making games aren't in control anymore.
they made games for gamers specifically. anyone who likes their games is not a casual player. then they went and pissed off the fans and still managed to not interest the people who already werent interested. D2 and vanilla WoW were amazing at the time. If a formula works. it just works. just make new areas. stories and graphics. this is what happens when everyone has nothing to do and has to justify not being laid off. they just tweak things until its dumb. bethesda has the same problem in a slightly different way. also thats why nintendo and from software always hit an award, they just do the same thing again but better or minor twists. I quit WoW when i dindnt know how to play my own character anymore and I tried to learn and decided I didnt even like it.
I mean tbh the end critiques about how Overwatch 2 became the worst reviewed game on steam dont really say much when Blizzard is still getting a shit ton of players and a shit ton of revenue off of Overwatch. Like what difference does it make to critique if everyone just keeps playing? Their pockets are still getting filled and they are hardly doing any changes.
He was wrong at 21:50 cuz what people wanted was not the game from the past but a game that does well, has good content and is not ruined by pointless expansions. You see, if you play an MMORPG since it got released and you play it for 5 years, in the meantime you get 3 addons that tripple the time you need to play and someone new joins, he is forced to go trough all of that at once meanwhile when you started, the game was simple and had just enough content for you to go trough it so you could master your PVP skills and dungeons and raids and so on... That means people that come late are usually left alone, nobody wants to play with them cuz they have no reputation for raids and dungeons and they get kicked out of every team they join cuz of no experience but you had the experience since your first try when the game was released and instead of bagging those players, you just kick them cuz you want some item that has 0.01% drop rate on raid completion and you dont want one or multiple dudes to mess up your raid and lose time... Which means, going back to classic was a necessity and people went there like crazy cuz there they could teach others to do stuff, new players could enjoy the game and so on... I played WoW aswell and I quit the game 1 month after Mist of Pandaria release... Then I came back around 2021 and the game was such a huge mess, so much stuff has changed and you were forced to have addons installed to even play the game properly... Complete insanity... So he was wrong, we did think we want that cuz we needed that... Its a shame that the company is now dead... Also there was one point missing in the video about Overwatch, the game had over 20 million monthly logins which was counted on unique computers, not that you logged on 3 times a day but it counted your login once per month if you even started the game for 1 minute... 20 million active users is a great number and their defence on Overwatch 2 release, making it overmonetized free to play game was "Overwatch made no money" but the game made 800 million in sales only and with loot boxes and sponsored events it most definitely made close to 1.8 billion since release up until 2018... Cuz I spent over 300 bucks on OWL skins, I purchased most of the Overwatch stuff and I even spent close to 100 bucks on lootboxes themselves and had 3 active accounts. 1 DPS, 1 Tank and 1 Support where high majority of the time I played on Tank account and had over 3000 hours there on D.Va, meanwhile support had few hundered and DPS had not even hundered hours... I already quit the game, I aint coming back to Blizzard games or atleast not until Microsoft rebuilds the company from ground up...
didnt know much about Blizzard til i bought Diablo IV at full price. seeing as how the prior games were highly reputable, super popular, and had a "cult classic"-esq following, i was super pumped to get involved in this game and play with a few friends... well, come the present time, i now regret paying for this game at full price and its just so disappointing to see such a blatant money grab as Diablo IV. all of its flaws i blamed on it just being "early game" and they'd be fixed as seasons come, but no, they never got fixed and in fact, got worse. disappointing.
I wasn't too sure, but after a thorough watch of this video, I have come to the conclusion that Blizzard Is Worse Than You Thought | xQc Reacts. Thanks mr cow!
This guy has really good editing, I bet it took a long time to put this together. Would be a shame if someone reacted to it and siphoned views away from the creator..
Only knew about blizzard because of overwatch but it does seem that they never cared about the hard working devs. Layoffs, low pay and even forcing to work at the office really would make me quit too tbh. Here’s to hoping things get better with Xbox Bill Gates
I always loved Lost Vikings 1 and 2. You can still play real WOW just use a private server (there are many) on version 1.6 literally just change a text file and alter the url. That’s one way you can actually get back at blizz and enjoy truly original Wow
Blizzard Entertainment and many other companies ( *cough* *EA* *cough* ) forget that Sequels are supposed to be better upgrades of a product rather than a number 2 in front of a product's name that is literally the same product but worse and which grants an infinite money glitch through their horse a*s store
Remember last year blizzard also divorced netease to give up on their largest playerbase in China. Then few months later the blizzard asked to get back to the relationship with netease but netease refused😂

Blizzard can't control their greed that's pretty much what it boils down to. They are so focused on making money on everything that they fail to let devs make actual good games. It's really disheartening considering how impactful their old games are.
Its just so sad how the games you love are almost BOUND to get worse as time passes because of the inevitable bad decisions game companies make and their focus switches to money when they find out they are doing well. Then the game starts falling down slowly. My faith in games depends on gta 6 because if it doesnt hit, im gonna officially lose hope in actually fun gaming.

What’s that first second of the video? Are you watching snuff lol. Jk I know it’s from the video but, bizarre. It’s just edited horrible conflict footage to say “blizzard”.
I doubt any single video can prove to me that Blizzard is even worse then I thought. My deep rooted hate for them has started probbly over 10 years ago and I base all of my grudges against them on facts and things they have done or rather "committed". Still gonna watch the video tho and watch people badmouth Blizzard.

Same. And it's fine to copy ideas, if it works and you can make it work.
it's executed pretty well, unlike JCS copycats, most of them are horrible
Internet historian is heavily overrated btw
I love IH as a edgy boy, but I also love when creators leave the schizoid edgelord 4chan stuff for the just chill laidback kinda vibe 😌
Internet Historian is slow with new releases (and the last few ones have been a miss imo) that I'd take decent copycats at this point

Blizzards downfall really needs to be studied
They did it to themselves. Sexual abuse/assault, poor game direction, etc.
You can only be the best for so long and when you’re a company there’s really no value to cashing out while you’re ahead, you just cash out ‘til you’re dead instead.

Only major exception though lol
The ad was smooth

What spiderman game is that 38:26 ??
2016 was the last time we ate good from blizzard
There really still is no other game that controls as smooth as OW yet, I just tried the finals, and while it is cool, the movement just does not feel right. I can only hope that OW2 becomes what it is supposed to be.
21:30 might be X's worst take ever honestly, classic is the only thing keeping retail alive at this point
22:19 Just because you think HotS was crap didn't mean all the teams and commentators deserved to find out via Twitter that they were out of work literal days before the Esports season was about to start.
when did he say that?
This is the problem with most modern games. Theyre run by investors and execs who are solely in it for the money, the people who actually care and have a lot of passion for making games aren't in control anymore.
They missed how blizzard went on the verge of bankruptcy and brought out starcraft as a last effort and the game singlehandedly saved them
they made games for gamers specifically. anyone who likes their games is not a casual player. then they went and pissed off the fans and still managed to not interest the people who already werent interested. D2 and vanilla WoW were amazing at the time. If a formula works. it just works. just make new areas. stories and graphics. this is what happens when everyone has nothing to do and has to justify not being laid off. they just tweak things until its dumb. bethesda has the same problem in a slightly different way. also thats why nintendo and from software always hit an award, they just do the same thing again but better or minor twists.
