I have an ex-Blizzard (low level) management friend who I keep meaning to ask for his take on all this. He's not the frat boy sort at all. But he probably rubbed elbows with a bunch of these guys.
You're just now coming to that realization? To me, it seems they've been the way they are now for quite some time.
No, of course not. They've been on a downspiral for a long time. But still managed to pull off SC2 and Overwatch which are very decent. Then they face-planted with Diablo 3. And then it was all downhill from there. But I was really looking forward, and still am, for Diablo 4. It seems they finally gave in and plan on delivering what players are asking for. Just build on top of Diablo 2. But now with this shitstorm, there's no telling what'll happen next.

Fucking Blizzard. And fucking Activision for hiding all this shit for this long, and only pretending to clean house when they were caught. And they're not even cleaning house. They're just using the opportunity to gain even more control over Blizzard. When Bobby Kotick starts resigning then I'll appreciate they're really trying to clean house.
Sadly, the Blizzard that once was, seems to be gone. And even what they were, they were for a short time. And this sort of behavior was likely there from the beginning. It seems people in power have a thing for behaving like this.
Anyway, I won't pretend this is just about morals. As insentitive and selfish as this is, I wonder how much this will delay Diablo 4.
