Lemme check what this guy even do.

"News Editor at Kotaku"


Oh, Kotaku. Yeah, this guy can go fuck himself.

 

[Fedora Master]

So now it's up to Beamdog to make Diablo 2 Enhanced Edition

:D

So we'll get Diablo 2 on mobile devices as well?!

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Crom this escalated fast.
And the fucking game journolols, maybe they would be more conscientious if they had to pay for their games, as opposed to review copies and other free gibsmedats

Here's the booing and "Do you guys not have phones?" part :

You heard it here first: Not liking a game is the same as hardline nationalism.

 

[Great Deceiver]

It's all Drumpf's fault! Stop complaining, you guys!

Unlucky 13, that is how many times my top rated comment has been deleted. So I say again. "No king rules forever my son" I enjoyed the last 20 years, but you have changed. There will not be another 20.

 

[Mastermind]

lol blizzard reduced to paying chinese sweat shop for an asset flip I feel bad for the person who drew the short straw on having to introduce it to the audience

"Hey guys, do I really gotta do this? Can I just stick my dick in a vice instead? Guys? Guys?"

While all those journalists play their hand, has any of them bothered to ask why the Witch Doctor is not in the game?

 

[Great Deceiver]

I don't get the entitlement argument, though.

You bet your ass you're entitled. Entitled to getting a GOOD GAME, that is. If anything it's the companies that feel entitled to my money these days simply because they exist and I have some in my wallet.

You have to understand that these pod people don't understand that there needs to be some sort of connection between what a company puts out and what its audience wants. Their feeble minds can only understand the world through the incredibly myopic lens of oppressors vs. oppressed, which they use to explain absolutely everything. In this case, the 'oppressed' are ostensibly the people working on this trainwreck, which the virtue-signalers naively think (or disingenuously try to make believe) are Blizzard employees and not Chinamen in a sweatshop.

Under that logic, it would be 'unfair' (oppressive) not to buy - or even to criticize - a product you don't want, because of all the supposed effort that went in to making it (even if it's a two-bit asset flip as befitting a Chinese sweatshop). It's a ridiculous notion, a completely childlike perspective, but of course the people who are arguing in favour of it are underdeveloped children in adult bodies, who have been force-fed a particular victimizing ideology all their lives and who lack the mental fortitude to break out of their intellectual shackles.

Simple economic facts, such as profit being the main driver of innovation and the fact that companies that fail to make products that people want to buy go bust and all of this benefits humanity as a whole and is what makes the world go round - through the efficient allocation of scarce resources - don't figure into these people's worldview. They simply don't. They live in a world of make-believe where gummy bears distribute wealth and everything should be fair and wonderful while you drink your soy latte at Starbucks, flipping through your Ikea catalogue and thinking about the next ecologically-friendly sweater you're going to buy with your salary that you got for doing basically nothing.

These are the people writing articles in tech blogs and 'gaming' websites. They're completely devoid of working synapses and the capacity for critical thought. That's why they'll all be extinct in the next 5 to 10 years, and why they're despairing so much trying to grasp at straws that would justify their bureaucratic existence and why they are getting paid for saying exactly what every single one of their peers is saying.

More like not buying/paying for it is white nationalism. They don't give a shit if you like something, modern devs just feel entitled to your money because they made a thing.

"Why dont you like shit in your mouth? Are you a fascist?"

Aaaaand there it is. In the game of liberal bingo, it's not a matter of if number Trump gets called, but when

At least people in the comments call him out on this bullshit.

Of course not. What...you expect them to do some proper journalism, instead of parrotting PR releases?

no reason to disparage children like this..

It's probably just a doofus deleting his own comment over and over again so he can get those sweet youtube likes and generate more drama. I don't believe for one second that Blizzard's PR department would be that stupid. Once or twice, maybe. But twelve times... come on, lmao.

Check the comments on this video



It's at 294k dislikes to 9.3k likes. Must be some kind of record.

edit.
can see those again.

14 times I have been deleted, so I say again... "no king rules forever my son" after a great 20+ years and many unforgettable memories we part ways. You changed blizzard, you changed.

Meh, most people on Bliz Con are hardcore Blizzard fanboys, they got pissed off because Blizzard tricked them into believing they were making a new game and not some chinese sweat shop cash grab, at least they expected something more, after all a ticket to Blizz con isn't cheap. The biggest offender isn't even the mobile cash grab, it will enter on the endless cash grab games list on iphone and android, make alot of money for blizzard then be forgotten on a few months. The real ice burn is that those people were foolish enough to believe Blizzard didn't treat them like cash cows to be milked on a cynical manner and they got pissed off when reality knocked the door.

Yeah, Blizzard would totally lie to you to grab your blizz con ticket money, then pretend they aren't delivering shit to you and aren't committing fraud. To make matter worse, the fraudsters would even say it is your fault to be pissed off for being treated as a fool.

Honestly, working at Blizzard must be wonderful, you make tons of money but having the mentally unstable kinder garden as co workers and fucking snakeoil con men as your bosses must be truly great...

 

[Sykar]

What a beautiful train wreck. Could not have happened to a more fitting company. I hope this marks the beginning of the end of the skid mark that is now Blizzderp.

This remiinds me a simpson episode ( made with 1998 paint shop)

Of course it hasn't been this bad in YEARS. More like EVER. I'm talking about Blizzard, by the way.
