The one thing that astounds me while studying the threads is how everyone is so quick to defend Blizzard and attribute Activision. Like Blizzard is something or their pal. Jesus Christ you guys a company discovered whilst cutting costs, it could make almost the identical sum of money and you need to create some wicked boogeyman to blame? Blizzard was never your friend they had good customer support wow classic gold to help retain paying customers, once they realized you'd remain without customer service they got rid of it too save $.
If Blizzard hadn't been bought out by Activision in 2008, and this was occurring, I would be right there with you. However, as somebody who followed Blizzard since the'90s, a lot of the problems did not begin until the past few years. Higher-ups in Blizzard were replaced by personnel, resulting in a culture change in Blizzard titles. The 2019 firings were just the culmination of a very long string of removing the original Blizzard from Blizzard.
So what folks are defending are those employees. The first Blizzard employees truly did care. Diablo 2 servers, a game whose last growth was released in 2001, probably still has official multiplayer servers being hosted by Activision-Blizzard servers, though for how long is anybody's guess. Updates were being received by it as 2016, 15 years after its past profit-making launching and long past the point where the gains were outdoing its costs it was bringing in.
Yes, they all wanted to earn money. But Blizzard had a long history of"We'll release it when it's ready", compared to their"launch it now and fix it in place" stance that has become the norm for their matches. A game release gets pushed back because they wish to polish WOW Classic a bit more is money lost, and Blizzard was notorious for pushing on games back at a time. That is, before a few decades back, when it appeared that culture at Blizzard had been squashed by what folks can only assume were Activision's consequences. It's easy to sit there and say that, yeah, Blizzard would wring you dry by any means necessary. But saying that ignores their trend of earning financial decisions in a bid to make games that are more polished.
People remember that Blizzard, the one with customer service and an actual customer-first attitude. That's who they shield, and to be perfectly honest, Blizzard earned that defense. Activision possesses Blizzard through and through. And all these customer support functions have Activision stamped around them. They've been the MO for Ages of Activision. So that folks are quick to blame Activision rather than Blizzard. It'd be just like blaming the people originally behind Craftsman or Pyrex for the drop in quality, when in fact it was the people who purchased the brands and are now ruining their name by taking a short-term money to buy classic gold in on the originally widely-known top quality nature of them while cutting costs and destroying the quality of the things newly-made under the brand name. |
