Suddenly got flashbacks to the video where Microsoft told people who didn’t like the always-online DRM, they could just stick with the previous generation of consoles. No joke, they said “what, do you not have phones?” Whew. During the reveal at Blizzcon, they actually had the people on stage attacking the audience for booing them when they said it wasn’t going have a PC version.

There’s a reason why.īlizzard decided that they were going to take a franchise that had always existed on PC, as a staple of the genre, and turn it into a shitty mobile game, created by an outside company, and guaranteed to be loaded up with microtransactions. Except, if you see it now, you wouldn’t know just how bad it ACTUALLY is. I don’t think even the Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare trailer got this much hate. Easily the most hated game trailer on YouTube, without a single contender. What do I mean? I mean the damage control saga of the cinematic trailer for Diablo Immortal.

Which makes me wonder what is going to happen to Blizzard now that they are in the crosshairs because of their own stupid decisions and corporate greed. Not a second goes by that some company doesn’t do something really stupid and their competitors are more than happy to make them look like asshats because of it. Bethesda really seized the day with that and took them to town. Like when EA said that single-player gaming is dying, and you had companies coming out of the woodwork to ridicule them. Gaming companies are big to capitalize on other companies stupidity or greed. Yeah, that was a PR tire fire, and they haven’t recovered from it to this day. Their video on how you share games on the PS4 was comedy gold. It made for some FANTASTIC material for Sony to absolutely destroy them with. All the features in the console that fans absolutely despise – the always-online DRM, the Kinect camera that you couldn’t disconnect or turn off because that doesn’t sound orwellian at all, and the inability to share used games because of corporate greed.

Super Bunnyhop’s video on it was one of the funniest things I had seen in ages. How many of you remember the launch of the Xbox One? I do.
