This must explain why some of the most successful companies are the ones that people tend to bash the most. EA, MS, Walmart, McDonald's, and the list goes on. All 'hated by all' yet successful beyond belief.

Let's take EA who are in the industry since your generalization sucks. They're not hated for being disrespectful or showing indifference to consumers. They're hated for their policy towards small developers/publishers. Buying them out and reducing what's left of creativity and independence in the industry. This is a business strategy that has nothing to do with customers. Moron.
Rather than supporting their games for years like Blizzard they shut them down to force people to buy the newest version of Madden or whatever. Clearly no points earned there. Microtransactions, etc. Not everyone cares about the side of things you talk about, because not everyone is aware of it.

Wrong. Even the average gamer is aware of the forceful even blackmailing tactics of EA in order to gain a monopoly. Hence all the hate. But as far PR/promotion is involved their policies are state of the art. DA would never have such long development cycle neither the only info would be "posts at the Bio boards" have they been in charge from the start.

Oh excuse me, I forgot this is the codex where average = everyone. Second time this week this has come up. I really ought to learn.

EDIT: Also, I'm very suprised that people who don't care about the things I mentioned would care about mergers and aquisitions. Thanks for this very valuable information. I'm going to add it to wikipedia now.

Your sensitivity on the subject is heartbreaking.

Is there some test for inability to comprehend what one reads that one must pass to join the codex? Did someone forget to give me this test?

"If they have gone the spineless route of writing the game in american-english even though they are Canadians they could've as well released the shitty info while it's still 9. july in Europe - the continent with most pc games sold on the planet."

Europe: Home Base of Slavery.


"You clearly didn't watch any of the press conferences Blizzard did from their WWI. I guess you also don't appreciate the Diablo 3 site going live the minute that it was announced with high quality gameplay videos and all sorts of information you normally have to piece together from crappy previews?"

Nah. i don't give a shit about Blizzard because their games don't interest me no matter how 'good' they may be. Still, like any company, Blizz doesn't give a shit about fans. Just the money they cna get. Nothing wrong with that either contrary what selfish loser egotistical punks like you may think.

European heritgae. Once we got rid of most of the negative traits from our ancestors we stopped the slavery. It took years to do it; but thankfully, it was accomplished.

Euope = Enslaving nations for centuries before NA became known to the whole world.

R00fles!

And you are the ones who fled from Europe because you were too retarded and too poor to achieve something here. Besides, Europe never imported people from other continents to enslave them. Because that would be totally evil and shocking.. imagine little Volourn in her little tribal underwear being eradicated from her hometown Titi-Mbuku and imported in NA to work as a slave on cotton fields.
Yeah.. lets keep this shit going and enslave the tread..

Compared to Blizz Hype, this one is rather lacklustre. We already know what to expect. (DRAGON AGE) But if all this teaser is gonna show non-gameplay cinematic it doesn't really answer any questions.

Compared to Blizzard's where we were left guessing, is it SC2? WotLK? WC4? D3? or a new MMO?

Website is up - and apart from the name change mentioned above - it tells us *nothing* - apart from the fact that there will be a trailer released on the weekend and that there are a couple of news services to subscribe to.

Wow - those Blizzard boys that put together the Diablo 3 launch must be quaking in their boots... :roll:

Yeah, that was unimpressive. A teaser for a teaser, as it were. :p I was hoping for more of an "event" since, ya know, it was sort of advertised as an event. :\

More info coming July 9th!

July 9th: More info coming July 11th!

OK, I've calmed down. Please don't get carried away guys. The hype is not a crime because nothing has been physically removed from an inventory.
