Funny how the video has around 60% dislike ratio yet all the top comments are either extremely positive or comparing it to House of Dragons/How To Tame Your Dragon.
A lot of D3's team got transferred to WoW around WoD-Legion if I recall correctly. Coincidentally, also the time when systems like M+, Artifact Power, the new droppable legendary system came out, all of them mirroring D3's gameplay loop.Wasn't that the same loop with the "rifts" in Diablo 3? You run the same thing again and again on, what was the difficulty called, Inferno I through XII or so, and get the same items but with +0.02 more stun duration on abilities or whatever.
IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 16, 2022-- Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. announced today that it will be suspending most Blizzard game services in mainland China due to the expiration of the current licensing agreements with NetEase, Inc. on January 23, 2023.

You need a local partner, and Blizzard's deal with Netease is apparently shit. Only 3% of Blizzard's revenue came from China last year.Wtf ? I thought Warcraft was huge in China ?
Or is this some technicality and they actualyl have some sort of deal with a third party there ? (a la Valve and Perfect World for dota)
More like World of FurcraftWorld of Uwucraft.

I'm guessing the new admin at Microsoft doesn't want to renew such a deal, because of bad optics and lackluster returns. Or maybe a negotiating tactic, playing hard to get, and they renew it later?
They played it with great people.What I find most interesting is how some in this thread think WoW was ever a great game.
