You do realize you don't need to do anything to sell a "Diablo 3." Just ship a bunch of boxes with the name Diablo 3 and it will sell itself. The commercial success wasn't because of him. You won't believe how many discussions I've overheard during the midnight launch where people had no idea what classes were going to be in the game. People just line up with their friends and make the blind purchase because NEW DIABLO IS COMING OUT GUYS.

Yep. Fired.

David Brevik, who was launching that Marvel diablo-like at the time, was interviewed, and during that was asked about Diablo 3 (which had also recently launched).

Jay Wilson reacted as if it was a giant shit on Diablo 3, and basically threw a fit

Odds are most people werent going to keep playing for a year straight but they figured "oh ill get a game! Sure lock me in!"

If you planned to take a break somewhere in there and did the deal anyways at some point you just gave blizz free money.

Guaranteed 12 months of money for Blizz.

>>340192774
but in reality, a lot of people didn't play wow all those 12 months, or even just 6 months

Weeeeell, he was responsible for Diablo 3. As in, the launch version. Real money auctionhouse, shipped out the door in a broken state. Glitches galore.

He was also the guy in charge of World of Warcraft: Legion. Which is in a completely broken state at the moment, and will likely ship out the door as lackluster as WoD.
>>
>>340194286
He probably had initial hands in it at least, since they start production one expansion ahead of time.
>>
>>340192434
>>340192517
>>340192853

In Blizzard's case, they no longer needed this guy to operate as a designer, so they found ways to make him redundant and force resignation. This is a silicon valley mentality, and part of that whole revolving door employment thing Netflix has been parading around like it's the second coming of business-christ.

In Valve's case, that company is a shit-fest internally. If you wonder why they don't make games anymore, it's because the culture has become so claustrophobic and stressful that no one wants to try anything new unless they can manage to isolate an area for their clique and work in peace. The higher-ups rarely let that happen.

The software people leaving Valve likely emigrated for greener pastures with better working conditions, and as they can boast Valve on their resume, they can ask for substantial pay and benefits from any company out there that needs code work done. Game designers won't find work outside of this industry, so that Blizzard guy is fucked.

hmm
I used to work for a software developing company and I used to be in a very big "office" most of the time, where like 10 people sat around and worked
it's hard for me to imagine it being any different, because we had to talk to each other a lot, and all the other offices were all open all the time, too
sometimes it did feel like I was missing a little bit of privacy, people usually fought for desks that were in such a position that people coming into the room couldn't see what was on your screen, so we could browse the net now and then without fearing getting "caught"
sometimes the most distracting thing was the other people in the room talking though

after that I worked at a company where I only shared an office with one person, but open doors all the time too, but since I was new, and I was still a student and working there part time, not too many people cared about me

really don't know which of the two environments was better, maybe both have their upsides and downsides

This is a nobody who represents everything wrong with the games they worked on, and only by the effort, creativity, and good graces of the rest of the rest of the team were they any good.

The only question now is: in the event of hiring the guy for a project, would you subscribe to the sunk loss fallacy?

I thought it was ok, but Diablo 2 was better
I just don't see why so many people are playing it so much
I stopped playing shortly after it released and I haven't even touched reaper of souls
I got bored playing through the 3rd difficulty
seriously playing through a game twice and you expect me to be thrilled to play through it one or even two more times? it wasn't even fun trying another character, I just wanted to play a different game
I didn't want to play the same shit again
but that's basically what Diablo is
the same shit over and over again
even worse than MMOs

It's irrelevant as to what forum came up with the idea of voting on posts, I think his point was that Blizzard's forums promote the same hivemind ideals as Reddit does, with Reddit simply listed as the most common offender of this sort.

They play it because, just like according to your image, RoS fixed the fucking mess that D3 vanilla was. After Wilson was kicked out of the team.

They are literally selling TF2 in a pixar wrapper with even worse microtrans like hotcakes.

If the Blizzard project you are responsible for has ANY issues, you are RETARDED and deserve to be fired.

This isn't debatable. They can shit in a box, label it Warcraft 4 with a Pixar'd elf waifu on it, and sell 10 million copies.

But most casuals dont really care. D3 is okay for a single playthrough. RoS destroyed the basic game with the Adventures, which also fixed the game. D3 has no story right now, it's just "Do things to gain thing".

A friend of mine played through it on console and she loved it and bought RoS because she liked D3. As a casual player it was worth it. For hardcore, Vanilla D3 was not worth it.

Are you retarded or actually this new? The fundamental cause of friction between reddit and 4chan is that reddit has fucking upboats instead of actually contributing for or against something. While people on /v/ have similar mindsets, it's nowhere near reddits "so relatable post" with 800 votes
>>
>>340197321
Knowing that both of them are made by the same guy is pretty important. This mean that this director is worth more than others.

Nothing prevents you in RoS from playing the story.
Actually I believe you need to kill the endboss before you can even do adventure mode.

>>340194378

>>340197802
No. The friction is about the fact that Reddit post stuff that was uploaded on /v/. That's it. We did the same with Something Awful 10 years ago, and we got mad when Reddit did it to us.

Also because Reddit has 100 times the amount of viewers than 4chan and is the 20th most popular website on the internet, compared to 4chan 700th.

And /v/ hate popularity due to a bad highschool experience.

Console Diablo 3 is actually decent. That was after the shitty AH was shut down and drop rates increased.
It sold well on consoles because the version they released there already cleaned up most of Jay's legacy.

Yeah because it was built on hype and the success of D2. If people knew what they were getting into it would have sold a lot less.
>>
>>340197831
You do. But, after the first playthrough any new character can go directly to adventure mode.

He's worth more money. His future movies will probably be big successes. He's worth more than other directors.

Overwatch could have sold 10 million copies but it still represents a failure of what project Titan was supposed to be.

Titan was supposed to be the next WoW. It was supposed to have 15+ million subs paying $15+ a month for the next 10 years. Even if 10 million people bought the Origins edition of Overwatch and 50 loot boxes that still doesn't compare to the money they planned to drag in off of Titan.

WoW is an aging billion dollar franchise. Titan was going to be the new billion dollar franchise to add to/replace it. The fact they had to scrap it and retool it into some barebones shooter is a major setback. One that is still wildly profitable, but not the billion dollar earner they set out to make. And no one knows how much they spent on Titan for the nearly decade it was in development before they scrapped/salvaged it.

Blizzard has deep pockets and can fix mistakes by throwing buildings full of money at problems. But Overwatch represents a huge mistake and a staggering loss of potential revenue.

>He's worth more money. His future movies will probably be big successes. He's worth more than other directors.
that still doesn't say anything about the quality of his movies

With that logic, 'Notch' is one of the most important men in history.

>>340199112
Making money = Success. Success = a lot of sales. A lot of sales = popularity.

People care about what other people think and will try to watch the same thing as other people, and play the same games as other people.

That's called Memetism.

So I never got the actual full story on why they fired Blizzard North when it was their only successful branch, was it because they weren't willing to go along with the jews in charge of WoW? I'm just wondering what the unofficial/real reason was for firing them, something important must have happened for them to fire their best team that was essentially the only reason they made it, without them there would never have been a WoW because Blizzard would have had no money to fund it...which I have mixed feelings about, because that would have been almost as good for the industry as no Diablo II would have been bad for it, something something balance.

Can someone at least properly tell me what this guy has done that destroyed the Diablo series? Serious question.
