Imagine if companies could actually allocate resources appropriately instead of throwing them in a toilet or exec pockets.

Vermain posted:good gravy that stinks Yeah nah I can't speak for OW2 and D4, but WoW is actually super good and we're about to enter the victory lap stage before the next expansion launches November-ish They've just added Dragonriding to all old world zones, which speeds up things incredibly, and they've also introduced NPC companions in dungeons. So if you really struggle with learning new roles, or if you want to learn at a slower pace, you can just jump in and explore dungeons at your own pace with bots helping you out. Would really like to see Starcraft 3 at some point

Anything WoW 2.0 related is surely bumped out to beyond 2030. I've always been of the opinion War4 + WoW would be a super enjoyable concept. Storylines in one impact the other, and vice versa. I don't know what a War4 would look like these days as the Alliance and Horde are like 2 steps away from merging at this point, or at the very least the end of Alliance Vs Horde story lines.

Striving for perfection in the survival genre when a pretty janky survival game just released into Early Access and sold about as much as any game has on steam is incredible even Fortnite and Minecraft released early just make the minimum viable product and rake in the cash is the whole game in the survival genre

Like I can't imagine how short sighted it is to just not release your half-finished survival game Enshrouded has been completely eaten by Palworld, I barely knew it existed before there was people saying the release date was unfortunate, and is still number 2 on the Steam charts

nothing like going to check a thing on bing and having it randomly decide to write a response without me actually inputting anything saying, "here's some information about how i, bing, am a miserable failure at capturing an increased percentage of the search engine market" the surest sign of a true intelligence: self-doubt and depression

So Palworld, a game designed by Satan itself it seems, full of every abusive gameplay loop the gamification nihilists have ever jizzed their pants over, that takes sillysweet pokemans and puts some dudebro callydutypubbygee guns in it, that looks like something Tencent market research Mentats have imagined in a fever dream, is somehow a good game??? Or is it "good" because it's saccharine and compelling enough that you can use it to hide from the world, your job, and your life in the RGB cave a little longer? My wording is very edgy, and reveals what I suspect the answer may be, but its a serious question to the scholars in this thread - is it really a "good game" or is it kinda like upgrading from heroin to fent?

Vermain posted:good gravy that stinks There was a SC squad-based FPS spinoff in development but it was cancelled a few years ago - maybe they thought it would compete too hard with Overwatch's PvE. They were going to make a bunch of mobile games for all their franchises, they had teams in various stages of development back in 2021... but as the Bloomberg article points out, their in-house engine (which those games supposedly relied on) didn't get off the ground quickly enough and now it sounds like Microsoft cancelled the entire venture. Warcraft Rumble, built in Unity, and Diablo Immortal, based on NetEase's own mobile engine, are the only survivors we know of. Zokari posted:they must have fired so many people that they literally didn't have enough left to work on it Blizzard committed to a three-expansion trilogy roadmap, which is pretty crazy given the company's current troubles (they're trying to build multiple expansions at once now, like CoD), and D4 is no doubt undergoing a major rework internally that will probably be scheduled to hit with the first of multiple planned yearly expansions (lol, I'm not sure the first one makes it into 2024).
