    Eventually people will need to accept that the Blizzard we all loved died long ago, and stop rewarding the ghoul that now inhabits its corpse.

      It died many years ago, and it should have been a signed death certificate moment to see one of the main people behind the original two Diablo games, one that had gotten vocally critical of the bullshit at Blizzard and had left to start the Torchlight series, received a “fuck that loser” very-intelligent Twitter remark from one of the corporate failsons wriggling around in Blizzard’s corporate corpse.

      EDIT: The early company wasn’t that wholesome chungus either; the systemic sexism was there basically from the start, especially with the “listing the only female employee as the dog roaming the office” so-true

      This is one of the reasons why I don’t really want to buy the new Diablo game even though my friends are playing it and it sounds like it’s gotten good reviews. checks metacritic, critics score 86, user score currently at 2.0 Yeah figures lol

      Im embarrassed it took me until Diablo 4’s 1.1.0 patch to finally figure this out, but here we are.
