Why is game development full of degenerates? In no other professional area do we see so many of these abominations.

Quotas are especially insidious because people with actual skills in this heavily tech-driven industry are almost always men. This means that every job that only requires "soft skills" tends to be filled with diversity hires. The companies become lopsided because they can't fill quotas evenly.
You can see this same effect in the FAGMAN companies where server-side software is amazingly complex and well thought-out and then easier things like the user interface is filled with rookie mistakes. Smaller companies can't get away with this, but big entrenched monopolies or companies with their own money printer (World of Warcraft) easily fall into this pit of incompetence.
It's amazing how the quality of blizzard art has declined, they used to be some of the absolute top-dogs for video game art. When I was younger, my friend who was an illustrator wanted to work at Blizzard, don't think he ever made it.
But I know one thing, he could draw circles around the crap they put out now so it's sad to see the people they actually hired.
This is some amateur hour garbage. What the fuck is that even supposed to be?
How long have you worked at Blizzard?Other than the lack of facial expression, seems ok.
WTF, Carbot's version is better...They're the same picture!
I think your memories of old Blizz are slightly inflated by nostalgia. While the artists, musicians, and programmers were definitely better in the past, Blizzard’s writing quality was always flimsy.
The Warcraft movie is apparently a faithful take on the story according to Metzen. It’s terrible.
I really think the franchise should be rebooted.
(I feel the same about Starcraft and Diablo.)
I disagree.Starcraft 1 and Wings of Liberty had legit great stories.
If we take it on its own merits, the problem with WoL is that it’s a very generic “plucky rebel hero vs cartoon dictator” plot. Then it takes a bizarre swerve into “hero must rescue girlfriend from bugs by collecting macguffin.” My brain hurts trying to think about it.Not sure how Wings of Liberty slipped into that otherwise good post @Val the Moofia Boss.
Main problem is that the characters act as if they were written by someone who had a story they wanted to cram into StarCraft (like Metzen having marital issues or something) instead of a logical continuation of the points of view we saw in the first game.If we take it on its own merits, the problem with WoL is that it’s a very generic “plucky rebel hero vs cartoon dictator” plot.

It’s also an RPG plot forcibly shoehorned into an RTS format, when that does the RTS genre a disservice. RTS is basically the only genre, other than maybe 4X, that lets you tell military, political, and economic stories with appropriate scales. WoL doesn’t take advantage of that.
Can you be more specific?Speaking of, I take issue with the plot of SC1. I think it’s hypocritical to criticize SC2 for sins that also afflict SC1. In particular the writer ignores or bulldozes their own worldbuilding multiple times. But I suppose I’m in a minority since most people I talk to dismiss or belittle any concerns I bring up. It’s very frustrating.

I think this same problem afflicts SC1. It’s just less obvious because 1) most people didn’t read the manuals, 2) most people played it as kids and thus didn’t notice oddities and feel nostalgia for the story, 3) SC1 has much lower production values and thus leaves much more up to the imagination.Main problem is that the characters act as if they were written by someone who had a story they wanted to cram into StarCraft (like Metzen having marital issues or something) instead of a logical continuation of the points of view we saw in the first game.
That was some wishful thinking.Other than the lack of facial expression, seems ok.
