Heroes of the Storm announced a shitload of changes, all of which are exactly the same type of systems that are present in league of legends except they're much worse because they're all based around Heroes being something to attract sponsorships/advertisers so they can have their own league for this game(that's the main goal for this game). It's honestly the same kind of boneheaded decisions that went into the Real Money Auction House. They went into this with the main goal of the game being to not have fun but to design everything around acquiring advertising dollars.

I dunno, spore's release to people realizing it was poo poo was really fast.

And that one developer with the people who made Galactic Civilizations apologizing for that one game of theirs before it came out and telling people not to buy it?

Wasn't that Sword of the Stars 2? From what I can remember, the publisher basically threw a loving fit and demanded that the game be released right goddamn now even though it was months from being finished.

No he's talking about Elemental.

Also SOTS2 had already been delayed twice so it was totally on the dev. Also it's like two years since release and it's still not working.

Yeah Diablo ROS was good though but prior to that everything sucked and last good game they released was Wrath of the Lich king.

How far have they fallen. Activision was the worst thing to happen to them.

goat simulator's devs actively tried to convince you not to buy the game but nobody cared and it was #1 on steam for a long while so they're pulling this off in reverse

nothing if you just play the game, skins are pretty cheap, like a dollar or two for normal ones? i think

dota 2 cosmetic items are mostly under a dime and you can mix and match and it's wonderful :3:

That's one of the big complains that all the devs who left had. poo poo became way too nickel and diming and it already bit them in the rear end a few times and they're still not getting it.

This works when your whole game is based around the "so bad it's good" thing. But if you're really serious and just trying to make a good game, not so much. Not to say that Blizzard is really trying all that hard, but you know.
