Blizzard Is Worse Than You Thought | Asmongold Reacts

In modern gaming, OFFLINE MODE is a frickin feature when it should be a base requirement for non competitive games.

The vibe in the games from 1996 - 2005 was something special..

That was a legit rug pull for overwatch 2 lol

When I was working in the electronics section at Walmart back in 2020, I found a Diablo II box in our back room as well as Windows Vista and 2011 antivirus software lol

What also made Warcraft 3 good is that they allowed players to technically mod their games by map. Up to this day, there are uploaded maps for Warcraft 3 that you can play on the original one, not the reworked version.

I bought Reforged, saw how they'd lied about everything, and immediately started trying to get a refund. I had to fight Blizzard on it for weeks because I had pre-ordered the game one drunken night about a year prior to it coming out. They claimed they could only give me a refund back to the card I had used when purchasing it but I'd literally changed banks since then. Finally, I talked to customer service over the phone and got someone who worked out a refund for me. Of course, when they gave me the refund, they also took away my ownership of the original WC3 games. So they basically stole from me after giving my money back. 🙃

My friends dad was some network engineer in the 90's, and in his basement had like 5 pc's, as kids would pile in there, playing orcs and humans, wc2, starcraft and diablo together, downloading a ton of shit on Kazaa, playing magic the gathering, n64 and eating endless Dominos pizza and drinking Mountain Dew. What a great childhood it was.

You know one thing that aided wow in getting huge was Everquest Fatigue. EQ players were tired of the every 3 months expansions for $60.00 plus the monthly fees. On top of the monthly sub. SoE had horrendous customer service too.

Real ID was the last time Blizzard said: "Sorry, we screwed up. we will fix this."

One of the things people hated about Diablo 3 was that drop rates were balanced around Chinese bot farmers. Then eventually they removed the AH, and changed drop rates so that normal people could actually find their own gear.

I remember playing Ultima Online and my guildmaster went MIA for whole week. He went missing from the game, from icq from everywhere. When he turns back up he says he bought Warcraft 3 and has been binging it for 12 hours a day all week. We all started playing. Awhile later WOW came out and the rest was history.

Activision killed Blizzard.

Stop calling it Blizzard. They died long time ago.

I remember being 11 years old, seeing people at an internet cafe playing WoW. Damn i will never forget how badly i wanted to play.

The auction house was broken from the get go, it was causing the player base to play the auction house with an arpg side game. People were talking openly about selling gear for cash then, instead of the private whispers or teamspeak.

War3 Cinematics were really insane. People forget though that a lot of the most popular War 3 custom maps were ports from the custom maps from Starcraft which also had a ridiculously good map editor. War2 and Starcraft were my games as a kid

What fucking blows my mind about the Warcraft 3 Reforged is it wasn't just bad... It also destroyed the classic Warcraft 3. It's genuinely insane how anyone allowed that to happen. D2R and Starcraft Remastered are both incredible though... Wtf happened with Warcraft dude.

I don't understand how nothing happens to companies like this when they clearly false advertise something and never deliver.

I remember folks screaming so loud that Blizzard was still their own company and Activision had no control over them. Idiots.

Reminds me of when i went to a game programming class/school whatever its called in english. And the teacher told us a story about the game he and his friends were making and the blood and tears they put into it. long story short, They were at a game show, showing up their game and it was a shooter type of game. Among the most popular on the floor (according to him at least). Some other person from another company came and looked at it and found it very good. Had a meeting with my teacher something in the lines of "We like what you have done in this game for the company you are working for. We would like for you to quit that and join making our game instead" Then he got to see an early preview of an rts game. He didnt see it going well and didnt think it was interesting enough so he said no thank you. That game was Warcraft 1. And not only that, when they got closer to the game finally being ready to be released they were running out of money and the company that was paying them to develop it were pretty much gangsters and in the end the funding stopped, the ownership of the game was those gangsters who put the game on a shelf forever and closed down a year later. Find it interesting to think about how someones life could have been completly different (better or worse) with just one decision done differently in their life.
