The Blizzard we used to love was already gone many many years ago.

The only Blizzard survival game is being a Blizzard employee.

Rest in peace for the D2R devs (Vicarious Visions) that got pulled into the D4 trash fire. Hope they didn't get culled

Fire the non-gamers that you have had in charge maybe... I am tired of people being in charge of gaming companies that are not themselves passionate about video games whatsoever. I don't think someone should be in charge of Blizzard unless they are at least Platinum in StarCraft 2, have tanked a 25-man raid in WoW, or have multiple level 90 something hardcore characters in D2. One of these should be the minimum requirements to be in any decision making seat at Blizzard. Otherwise, you're unqualified.

I am completely shocked. Like, totally. No one could have seen this coming. Out of the blue. Who knew.

[ryu-ken]

I'm not surprised. The blizzard today is not the same one we all loved long ago. None of the OGs are left. It's all different people now

[TheRealTrucido]

Hopefully they laid off the people making the decisions and not the workers and artists. Its poor management control that makes a bad game. If everyone gives feedback and gives good ideas but the manager shoots them down and chooses to continue the project in the wrong direction they should be fired.

Why does nobody talk about how even by season 3!!!! Season 3!!!! The 12, 000 staff at Blizz STILL have not figured out how to implement functional trading!!!!??? Did everyone forget that trading was about 33-50% of Diablo 2.... and we have functionally zero trading in D4 after goin on 7-8months after release!!?? Unbelievable. No trading, my mind is blown.

[Justin-vqco]

They had a meeting last year where they shared their "stack ranking system." This was what many of the leads were sort of predicting would happen I think

[DSBertin]

i still cant believe i wasted 150$ cad on this bad game... I still play D2 and enjoy it. Still sad that the employees are paying the price for this when it's the guys in the office that pushes for $$$ instead of what people actually wants.

[veryontron]

This has nothing to do with Diablo IV tbh it's an industry wide thing that's been happening these last few months

[lefter]

I think this could lead to something good, to be honest, cause the the people that are now leaving are the ones that brought Blizzard in the sorry state it is right now, by ass kissing their shareholders and humiliating their customers.
Sometimes stripping everything to the bone and restarting proves not only necessary, but also benneficial. I mean, look at what Lego did! Everyone can see they are now in a pretty healthy state right now. Don't you think?
Cheers!

[manueldalbello]

It's about time... maybe now they can bring in people who know how to do their job.

[Burnzzs]

I was with Blizzard Customer support for 15 years, however they just gutted all of customer support in the NA region as idk about EU region however there a few more meetings for this, so its safe to say them also to a degree. The only thing you will get now will be Teleperformance people that are temp in and out people who don't even play Blizzard games. All Managers, specialist, standard game masters, group managers, training department, and even more. Now when you make a ticket, you will get someone who is Teleperformance and doesn't know anything about the games, hope you enjoy waiting between now and end of time, and yeah good luck.

No one know this was coming as I had a meeting with my supervisor just yesterday, and even new things we are looking forward to in another meeting with a few departments.

[dark]

Are we talking employee employee or like Twiter "employee". Because honestly I'd rather have quality over quantity. Either way I'm not surprised. The soul has been sucked out of them for a long time now. Remember: You don't have to make a killing. You just have to make a profit.

Game was a massive flop day 1. No season has made it any better. There are people who like it, sure, but there are also people who like to get kicked in the nuts repeatedly...look it up lol
This game was fundamentally not Diablo, never will be, and the entire time they were developing it, they told you to expect more d2, but instead they delivered more d3/immortal...the writing was on the wall day 1. It's incredible how many of us saw this shit before it even released and said this isn't it, and than were attacked for it. Guys, blizzard is incapable of making a new Diablo game, they are incapable of doing anything they did 20 years ago. Give up already, they don't care about you or what you want, they care about taking every dollar you have and giving you nothing you wanted in return

[jesse]

This is very normal when companies merge. There are a lot of overlapping dept and positions.

[HondaRider]

The love D2R got was much appreciated. Unfortunately, we won't be getting any updates any time soon.

[Jhonatt]

Impressive they have around 22000 employees in Gaming and they make such horrible games. That's a lot to think about.

[HokeyPokey]

Please make more of these, it was hilarious!
