Diablo 4 Steam reviews put Blizzard’s RPG in the ‘mixed’ category less than a day after the D4 Steam launch, as player numbers struggle on Valve’s platform too.
That Blizzard is selling their games on Steam at all speaks volumes about how poorly they are doing.
All of the design talent and experience has been purged from their ranks in the last 10-12 years. They are a trash tier developer and have burned all the nostalgic goodwill of their past successes.
Kotick killed the golden goose, ruined countless careers and lives, and now he gets to leave with hundreds of millions at the end of the year. Capitalism at is finest.

No, it doesn’t at all. All of this was just preparation for the Microsoft acquisition, by having Actiblizzard games in a third party platform as a way to show that they’re “not creating a monopoly”
Steam is not a monolopy platform. The Blizzard launcher is more of a monolopy platform than Steam is. Epic pays for exclusivity deals to keep games off other launchers. Steam has never done that with any games except their own.

What’s crazy amongst all this madness is whatever skeleton crew they stuck in a closet to tend to the corpse of D3 has been knocking it out of the park lately. It’s like they got a green light to do whatever and started ticking features from the community wishlist. It won’t last much longer as after next season it’ll just be cycling through previous content. But at least for now, someone over there appears to care.
It’s so sad to see one of the greatest gaming companies in history go down such a dark path…
It feels like almost yesterday when I was unwrapping that fresh copy of WarCraft II and being stunned by the CGI intro, seeing the Orcs on their great warships and thinking “Holy hell”.
What happened, man? Why does money ruin absolutely fucking everything?

They why not on epic?
Because the Epic Launcher is a flaming pile of shit.
I agree, but if Blizzard was just trying to pretend to be a fair company, they launched their product on a near monopoly platform and chose badly.

And at a 25% discount so soon after launch. It’s crazy!
It’s 25% on Xbox too

Because nobody who gets a sufficiently large amount of it to stop worrying about their finances is ever satisfied with that amount of money.
