Activision Blizzard has released a financial report that details their first quarter earnings. Among the sea of information is the revelation that Overwatch has earned over $1 billion worldwide for Blizzard Entertainment.

Net revenues for Activision Blizzard have set records for Q1: $1.73 billion total, as compared to $1.46 billion in Q1 2016 – an increase of 19%.

What hope is there Holla Forums?

And yet people here will continue to hate while we have a "general" thread. I hate the average person who plays video games. This world needs a good Vietnam to cull the normalfags.

disgusting

None. Video games are done, time to go to anime.

Vidya is now the domain of the normalfags, as is the Internet. Time to find a new hobby.

Vietnam didn't cull normalfags. You want firebombing of major population centers in the west, which would most realistically be achieved through total war with China or a renewed Christian-Muslim holy war.

It's been like this since 2007, where have you been?

Even the players are asking that
us.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/20754507931

I guarantee you it's gonna go the way of WoW.
They're gonna do some major fuckups and everybody is going to hate it in twelve years.

Good luck getting your average weekend Holla Forums user to admit this. When do you think they grew up during their teen years?

I just didn't want to believe it.

That's precisely the problem.

Don't forget that it's stink will linger and rub off on vidya for nearly a decade. Don't cry though, this is the grave we made, now all that's left is to lie down in it.

There actually was something about WoW, but the entirety of it was "Legion is doing slightly better than the previous expansion", without any explanation as to what that means. Coming from the same company that stopped listing subscription numbers because the game was hemorrhaging them at an unprecedented rate, it's probably bad.

Now every game will try to be overwatch-like.

I'm capping this post, I believe this prediction is going to come true.

screenshot if anyone is interested.

It'll affect the industry for another six years before other things take over and remain truly popular another two or three years after that.
The decline will have started long before that, but the affects of the lowered playerbase won't be felt until around 2027.

So saying that Overwatch has about 30 million players at the current time, without any new growth or expansion past that number, how many shekels has Blizzard made from people buying crates with no tradable skins with incredible chance for duplicates?

At least the taint mostly took the form of Battleborn so far. But yes, it's bound to change things for the worse.

Video games have been normalfag shit ever since the Playstation.

Around 250 dollars.
If the person was a good goy and gave Actiblizz a lost source code copy of Starcraft in exchange for 250 activisiononly shekels in the blizzard store.

The playstation is the reason why 3d games took off. I can see if you make the argument about the ps2 and the dvd reader but don't go deflecting. Vidya died in 2007 when normalfags decided that movies were not enough for them to ruin.

Don't remind me please. Fucking reddit.

People believing corporations to be their friend is probably one of the worst things that has happened in a good chunk of time. It's pretty hilarious to see everyone bend over at a guy getting actual valueless blizzard funbux like they're reaching down and touching them with the hand of G-d.

NO, you need to remember this. You need to keep that fire in your belly to defend your hobby. Forgetting sins like this is the reason we are in this mess. Fuck you, I will not forget.

I blame social medias for that.

To be fair, Blizz's lawyers contacted him after he posted it.
The fucker should have just dumped the thing on a file hosting site like mixtape.moe then posted the link on a bunch of different websites, but of course he had to attention whore.
Fucking redditors.

...

...

It's already been like that before, with every multiplayer game trying to be "balanced" like TF2, then Smash, then CS:GO, and now Overwatch.
I think it's more of a monkey's paw for wishing "friendlies" to fuck off

You're asking a normalfag redditor to think. That's too much.

M80, asking the average Holla Forums user to think is a bit of a stretch. I know my hobby as fallen and I can safely blame at least a third of the faggots here posting on the weekend.

They lost me when they started turning characters into dykes, autismos and giving shout outs to daughters of megalia.

Believing lead developers to be their friend is a bit less stupid, but sadly very prevalent around Holla Forums.

Only during certain hours or days, if you catch my drift.

Yeah, that's a tough pill to swallow, especially when someone starts in or searches out your community. It feels even worse when you're used as a stepping stone, no real reason to trust someone who wants your money.

What I meant was fanfiction-tier backstory with trannies, lesbians and autists.

N64 was legit nogaems for its day. Only around 300 games in its lifetime. The NES had over 700 and that was two generations before it.
A lot of its games are bad in retrospect. Play Goldeneye recently? It didn't age well, it didn't age well at all.
Most of its games are ugly as shit, as well. Why was everything so blurry? It's like they took a shitty SNES filter and applied to an entire console.
Don't get me started on that FUCKING CONTROLLER WHICH HAD THE ENTIRE FIRST HANDLE MOSTLY IGNORED BY THE MAJORITY OF GAMES DUE TO ITS FUCKTARDED DESIGN

Fucking N64. Easily the most overrated console in history.


>OVERWATCH CARRIES ONE MESSAGE: DIVERSITY
It was at that point I knew Blizz were fully pozzed.

The n64 was a rude awakening for me. How the fuck can people defend that company?

I don't know, I'm no sonypony, but psone blew N64 so hard it wasn't even funny after a while, even saturn had better games and was a better system.

Because that was just a more powerful system beating out a system hampered by aging hardware. Nintendo really didn't want to let go of their cut they get in every cartrage sale so we got a garbage system. Sony had something to prove so they actually tried during that era.

And no its not pol shit. Stop being a retarded consumer, put your foot down, and support good companies while trying to curtail the bad ones

You were warned about evaxephon, so I'm especially smug about that one.

Mario 64 was far more complex and ambitious, but Crash was more fun on a fundamental level.
Not to say M64 is a bad game by any means, it's incredibly well designed for the most part, but it was clunkier and less intuitive than its predecessors.

I think that's what they conveyed. They were confident that Crash was just more "fun". Shiggy spending a good amount of time playing it on the kiosk was also a good sign. A guy can say whatever he wants but if they show signs that they have trouble putting down the vidya, you know you did something right.

I think the final nail was AA developers going all but non-existent/bought and left to die.

And by normalfags, you mean women and jews.

Yeah, writing was on the wall for him. I never supported his dumb ass but it's still a pretty good example.

Don't forget cucked whites. Why the fuck do you think we are in this mess in the first place? Or are you one of those hypocritical fucks that brush aside cucks like Anthony Burch and Bernie "I can't believe it's not ron paul" Sanders but think there is no such thing is as a cucked white?

And now they make cinematic third person shooters. What a time to be alive.

Bernie is Jewish and I think Burch's family comes from the Middle East.

I don't think you could have picked two worse examples.
You could have brought up Louis C.K. or Justin Trudeau, but instead you bring up Bernie "Oy Vey" Sanders.

Same fucking thing.

Poor examples, sure but i'm not wrong. Holla Forums needs to clean house before they can even attempt a proper DotR.

There was ever any evidence of that? I keep hearing about Miyamoto been impressed by Crash but never with a source.

all-things-andy-gavin.com/2011/02/02/making-crash-bandicoot-part-1/ I know they mention it here, but that's at least where this originates. I'm not sure if there was any actual recordings or anything Miyamoto might have said that actually confirms it.

It's in this blog, somewhere on page 3 or 4 where Andy talks about his first CES.
http all-things-andy-gavin. com/2011/02/02/making-crash-bandicoot-part-1/

My mistake, page 6 is where it happens.

They werent a real problem in Vidya and certainly had little influence. Anybody have that Mario picture list?

Certainly things werent perfect in 2009, but Mass Effect, Borderlands, and a host of other good games were still produced. It wasnt until very recently, like 2012, that dumb whores started forcing their way in and Kikes went into overdrive that good game basically stopped being made.


If anything, normalfags just trusted the nerds and stuff in regards to certain judgements and such, seeing as how it was seen as a larger extension of the nerd hobbies, like tabletop gaming and model construction. It was the last masculine culture left, nerdom, and videogames were the mkst accessible venue of it.

And dont pretend like nerds didnt eat that shit up, finally having an in road to making friends outside basement dwellers and other assorted rejects.

For a little qhile, we stopped being rejects, and. Started being friendly.


Then stupid whores got mad that nerdy geeky girls were getting attention and well… Yeah..

And the kikes had been kiking things up for 20 years and id say about 2010 was when the final pieces of domination clicked into place.


As for movies? Nigga, tv and movies have been normalfag land since forever.

….no

Shitskin spotted. They can't comprehend what Jews are.

Thanks for letting us know your worthless opinion reddit.

We are not on reddit

We don't have to doublespace

Every fucking

Sentence

We

Type.

Fuck off, retard.

Semites are all demon worshipers, feel free to kill yourself though.

thanks for letting every know you pedantic nitpickery bullshit.

Go kike up another board with pointless divide and conquer

No really, go ahead.

Whites aren't semites, retard.

Safe money says you are either a leddit reject or a garden variety leftycuck trying to start shit.

You will die with the rest of your ilk.

...

If whites lose the racewar, you'll be enslaved by the chinks. Niggers lose no matter what.

Really makes you think.

So you would rather downvote and hide the posts while virtue signaling how pious you are?

Boyhood

Wow, this thread went to shit fast.

It probably means that they're losing subs at 98% of the previous expansions rate.

Reminder that we had daily threads about this ASSFAGGOTS/CRAPCUNTS garbage here.

Holla Forums is truly dead

I hate when anons talk about videogames in here

Haha totally right fellow redditor, I just hate it when haters enter my LoL thread to shitpost. Holla Forums doesnt play video games XDD

I hate free speech.

You are still retarded even if you are pretending

Actually, those numbers are inflated to fuck. I expect the actual sale numbers of the game around the 8 or 9 million mark. The rest are throwaway accounts, shared accounts, and temporary accounts from Korea's internet bangs.
The game isn't especially lively anyway.


Based on what I've seen, I expect it'll be between 20-30% of the entire gross.Especially high, due to the absolutely disgusting tactics of getting people to spend money. The event lootboxes being the absolute worst of it.


That's wholly expected from a community that is willing to play one of the worst designed FPS games of all time. This game would have flopped without the marketing and the porn.
I think the most worrying thing however, is that people are willing to play a fucking terrible game so long as it's polished, and trust me, it's complete garbage.

Cancer.

...

Fuck having standards~!

...

Having shit taste in games is not a crime, at least they are confined to their thread.

Fix'd.

Enjoy france.

Nice try, i'm in burgerland. At least I have that going for me in the west.

laughingayys.spacegif

What's a spacegif?

Thanks, it was an interesting reading, but it doesn't really proves what was said if anything are just assumptions from one of the developers. Hell, for what I read it sounds that one of the Crash's co-creator the one that felt jealous towards Mario64

Lmao earthlings

lol

Keep fighting the bad fight, eurocuck. :^)

Enslaved? Nah. They'll starve to death. And those that dont, will die of AIDS. Chinks have no use for them.

Swing lower dude, trust me.

...

I keep reporting them but the mods just don't do shit.

Make better threads.

How about you keeping your fucking politics on your respective boards?
At least fuckoff to the GamerGate thread instead of shitting up everything.

Christ

...

No. You either accept that politics is in literally every form of media and that there is no escape, or fuck off back to neogaf

Is Yoshi politics then?

haha

Now THAT'S a shitter-tier argument.

Can I save this picture?

Save it, it's all yours my friends haha

On second thought, I no longer want it.

huh? but that's what user was talking about though…

Other devs might try that, but it won't actually succeed unless they also false flag outrage against it so the community will have something to circlejerk over and to fuel a "these guys hate our game, buy it to spite them!" ploy (e.g. superhomura64).

It would make my fucking month to see just one of these people slip up and get caught false flagging

That's more of an economy thing than anything.

Im not up to speed, what happened?

And they'll make a shitload of money meanwhile so they can make more shit, not to mention the neverending clones being made to get a piece of the shit pie.

Considering how Overwatch threads go, why hasn't Mark just banned discussion of Overwatch, regardless of whether anyone likes it? It's not like people can't make an Overwatch board.

If I remember right, it's like this: the dev promised no gay or futa in the game, but fast forward to a few months back, and he announced a part where the player can get NTRed by a gay futa. Rage ensued.

And you faggots said SJW didnt pay for vidya

You're sorta on the money, but that's incorrect. Basically the game was advertised as pure monster girls, no gay shit basically. Ends up with a self insert trap incubus/succubus/whatever you wanna call it that's stated to become a large part of the story that you can fuck in the ass. People were mostly upset since it was promised to not have that, which is understandable.

SJWs don't, brand slaves do. Why do you think RAZR or Ayylienware stay afloat witht heir bloated prices even though their products are marked up chinkshit?

Well the game literally marketed itself as Team Fortress 3 with waifus, shit was gonna sell regardless if it was a good game or not.

Every normalfag I know that played LoL bought overwatch, every single one of them.

Losing five friends all at once is something

It's your fault for letting them live

It fucking hurts because it's true. Video games being normalfag central is small compared to what is happening to and what is going to be lost with the normalization of the internet. Time to get into ham radio or some shit I guess.

no you're not, our report queue is 0

Arent you just an edgy meme LARPer?
>NO! EXCEPT THAT GRR IMA KILL YEW!! >_<

This is how dumb you sound

reported the ones from the Nier automata thread which I assume are the same shitposters from this thread. Fag.

user if you want to reply to someone then don't make yourself look like a retard in the process

this gambling shit should be illegal

it are pretty much running casinos for children

Not an argument.
You have no way to refute me so you call me names?!

Ha… ha…. pffhahahah!!!
*trleports behind you and melds into the shadows*

I'll let you live… for today. But know that you are being watched.

I have been baited

Streamers take donations and unbox them live and do reaction videos for them. Its never done at a loss to them.

It's only LARPing until the uprising starts

What?
Post proof

youtube.com/watch?v=4SNdrEGSVUY&feature=youtu.be&t=36m and please watch more than 1 minute before you dismiss it. Timestamps wont work on embed

just last week china (off all places) forced them to show their drop rate math because IT'S GAMBLING

funny its only in Chinese
ow.blizzard.cn/article/news/486

"Every box is guaranteed to contain at least one item of Rare (blue) quality. On average, a player will receive an Epic (purple) in every 5.5 loot boxes they open. Finally, players will receive one Legendary (orange) item in every 13.5 loot boxes on average."

Right so, I never played this game even though some of my normalfag friends are all over it which is depressing. Can someone redpill me about how bad the in-game purchases, skins and whatever are?

Just how bad is it? So there are lootboxes, what else?

...

To be fair, how many actively updated games haven't gone to shit after a decade?

I've done that for more than a decade, it doesn't do shit against and endless wave of casuals.

...

I may not understand Japanese, but I am 99.3% sure this is edited.

Is "human nature doesn't exist" Something Holla Forums preach?

You can be 100% sure it is

This is not okay.

what the fuck did you do to karen

I disagree. There are still a ton JRPGs and VNs out there.

Normalfags may have never heard of it but we still have games.

Did they mention how many subs WoW has dropped to?

Fuck humans. Thirty dollars for a 100 hour game is too much but the normalfaggies spend that kind of money in a weekend for loot boxes.

I don't understand how people can eat this shit up. I'd understand if it was a free game since the player can decide how much the game is worth and buy the lootboxes based on that but Overwatch you have to pay to play the game and then pay for the cosmetics and shit, it's like going to a shop and having to pay before you enter.

Can you even trade the stuff in there? If not then what's the fucking point?

I'm old enough to remember CP, hackers, terrorists and naziboos on fucking clearnet.

Now every media has closed their forums and the wild west is over.

Get better friends

Guess now they can finally kill WoW.

I'll never get over how bad they fucked up Starcraft with HotS. It was the only game I loved enough to work at every day to git gud, and they fucked it.

Stopped reading.

WHATS that meme called?

I can't wait for the retards to catch wind of Renne's backstory.


Le Soviet liberator face

That's just the top top crust of the internet which is made of the flotsam of old media scrambling against their obsolescence mixed with Web 2.0 shit. Might I remind you that to normalfags reddit is considered a hive of Nazis and supermisogynists.

All I see is yet another reason to ban Overwatch talk.

The subtitles are completely made up. Not even remotely close to what they are saying.

They stopped reporting on that after WoD lost something like 5 million players.
iirc they said that Legion is peforming better then Wod, but that could mean anything between 1 user more to a million.
it's probbaly just one if at all ,since the primary goal is to avoid naming numbers anyway

Welp. Time to go innawoods and stick to Pen and Paper RPGs and Board games.. Not that Madame Camelface and her cult of personality aren't trying to ruin that little niche as well.

Weird to see how OW is in that zone where is not universally praised by Holla Forums for a myriad of reasons, yet it's also not universally praised by diversityfags because they get upset over every little thing, be it a fucking letter sent in a comic, or a cop skin for one of the characters.


Imagine if the course of action for every thread that falls to shitposting was to ban discussion of said game instead of just getting rid of the shitposters and let legitimate discussion go as people feel like it should.
That's what the other retard above proposed. Holla Forums is not your safespace. And you are not deserving of those dubs.

Has any multiplayer game ever lifed that long without dropping in quality and player numbers, though? You make it sound like a profound statement but you could also have said: "Our sun will die in a billion gorillion years! That´s my very unique and hot take on this situation!"

Pretty sure a huge amount of those are just people wo played the open beta event or in one of their free weekends and I'm also pretty sure that they did not put a lot of effort into not counting people multiple times.

oh no, a video game is making money
all is lost. why cant they do it for free

Overwatch is shit, kill yourself normalfaggot.

That money comes from sad fucks that like to play waifu dress up. Also what's up with all the deleted posts? Some faggot went on a shitposting spree?

Mark went and deleted all posts from about 20 people, expect a lot of deleted posts in a lot of threads.

Doesn't Tencent own part of Blizzard? Yet another yuan cow for them i guess.

dubs of truth

The human nature that doesn't exist is a concept meme propagated by the left. They believe that through education you can change a man into whatever you wanted it to be, whereas the right believes that a part of man is genetic, and can not be changed through education. Changing the man is also what many "isms" such as communism, socialism, even nationalism and libertarianism require, but if the man can not be changed then many "isms" especially communism fall flat from the very start.
Here are two webms(too large to post both at the same time) which shows communism and human nature.

...

No, Blizzard is owned by activision.

theres nothing else to say. its ridiculous to shocked or upset by this

30M users since launch on all three platforms? What's the average daily player count?

Based on the replies it was off topic political shit.

Yea but he deleted pretty much everyone near the shitstorm, even some "normal" (aka actual Holla Forumsirgins and not some faggot here to raid the place) anons.

If the shitposting was that bad then the shotgun approach is the best solution

The only reason OW gets special treatment is because Mark was bullied into buying it.

Also the best solution is to not allow things that attract normalfags and shitposters.

Yea but he didnt just delete the posts in this thread, he did a full wipe which was overkill if you ask me.

what's the official title of that documentary? it looks really interesting.

People told him to stop this deleting by IP but Mark is too much of a brokebrained faggot to stop.

ive been caught in the crossfire before but only my posts in the thread were deleted.

The fall of Blizzard will start with the fall of WOW, which with the hemorrhaging of subscribers is going to happen soon. I'm not that informed on how much development costs in Blizzard, but I'm pretty sure it's too high. I would not be surprised even if you told me the development costs of Hearthstone reach millions even though the game is already made and it shouldn't be hard or costly to add new things into a fucking card game.

The high development costs will end Blizzard, or at least they will suffer greatly after they lose the WOW subscriber money, Overwatch's revenue can't be compared to WOW. Blizzard has to die for this industry to get better, it HAS to die for the rejuvenation of the MMO and RTS genre.

It's addictive. It's the same as gambling. People are OK with it because they actually like the game, and justify it by saying "I think it's worth the cost."

havent heard that one before.

blizzard dying wont doesnt reverse time. publishers wont suddenly forget their craving for esports dollars. they had their taste of money and they know where it is and how to get it. that goes for video games in general.
even if ea who i would argue did more damage died, we wouldnt suddenly see rts being made again.
the methods behind getting a game developed have shifted because things are so consolidated and corporate now. the only chance at respite is to add new players to that game. thats a hell of a task, and how long until they fall to the dark side?
not that its worth worrying about, its the natural cycle.

It's because of the ass. A billion dollar ass.

Thanks for the explanation m8. Interesting documentary going to have watch the rest of it.

And it's made even worse now because they probably have the last remaining source disc.

...

Every day for the rest of my life

how many are usually made? i mean, if i were to get my hands on something like that i wouldnt brag about it.

Less than 20 I figure.

Where's Heroes of the Storm on that list?

...

Blizzard HQ needs to be nuked

Its 2017. Try culturally enriched.

Why not both? Culturally enrich and then nuke that shit.

All me

I like that. You're smart.

an even more efficient way would be culturally enrich, and then use those 18 MOABs Trump's got that are six months from their expiration date.

They lost me the minute they were censoring "git gud" and had shitty ass causal aiming tech in a supposedly competitive game. Glad I never invested a cent into that shit.

What are the chances it'll ever go F2P?

Im sure we could send a few extra towards EA as well. Problem solved.

Don't forget Activision.

None.
And i can't believe i forgot some housewife at blizzard got legitimately triggered at people telling her GG EZ that she word filtered it to some passive aggressive bullshit like, "I'm insecure about my penis size and desperately want a friend" and shit.

Jesus fucking Christ.

user you act like vidya didn't die when League became a thing.

You fags kept asking to bring back lurkers and spider mines. Wish fucking granted, if you ask me.

i dont know, thats pretty hilarious.


thats another thing people seem to conveniently overlook. riot games success totally popularized the free to play concept.

I like overwatch, it's fun in my opinon. But it does have some seriously glaring issues and the devs are doing the exact opposite of fixing them most of the time.

I didn't ask for shit you dumb faggot. Wings of Liberty was fine as it was.

I know, I just wish normalfags would develop some fucking taste at some point.

But anime is trash

How do you like characters being turned into carpet munchers and autists?

It's irrelevant to gameplay so i don't care to much. Also didn't Symmetra's comic basically say that she was on the spectrum?

No, because you don't have to play it?

...

Other AAA devs try to copy Overwatch and then fail so hard they become bankrupt or at least unable to affect the industry with their garbage as much, like with what happened from World of Warcraft.

And you dont have to buy DLC either but that shit is still affecting games in a bad way

It's much much cheaper to shit out a knockoff OW though.

so, hope to you is other devs failing and leaving you with only overwatch for a very very long time? what good has come from failed wow clones?

There is no other game that has Genji so I got no other choice than to either ignore it or complain, and I am to lazy to complain.

In order to thrive, the industry needs a good purge. Games need to be less economically viable, especially for indie fags.
Burn it all, use the ashes as fertilizer for a new generation.

There's no trade system, you can get duplicates that automatically turn into an in-game currency.

it wont 'all' burn though, the giants that youve come to hate will remain, and they will be more powerful for it. essentially, it just fuels things like ea games.

Kill yourself.

Yeah I know that cancer all too well user I know what you're saying is true because the same has happened to me. All the friends I had only play Smite and some Overwatch and literally nothing else and even when I've asked them to try something else whether it'd be free or cheap they're always uninterested and just go back to that cancer.

...

My only real gripe with Overwatch being as successful as it is is the fact that the muh diversity crowd will use it as an excuse to say that diversity sells games, even though it's the exception, rather than the rule.

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST HOW CAN NORMALFAGS BE LIED TO THEIR OWN FACES AND STILL EAT THIS SHIT UP? ONE OF THE CHARACTERS IS LITERALLY JUST A POLITICAL STATEMENT FULL ON TUMBLR FANTASY
I know I should expect these things by now but it still makes me really fucking mad.

Zarya's a racist

its all about taking advantage of gambling addiction and targeting the demographic that hasn't been educated about addictions yet. valve started it and everyone is just following the craze because those dollars are too great to pass up


once you dump enough money into something they can do anything and the people who dumped life savings into it will defend it. see star citizen

But feminism isnt political, its the default state :^) we are all equal user, ugh

Yeah I've heard that about her hating the cyborgs or whatever the fuck the lore is for Overshit but I really doubt they intend it to be anything other than just slight drama none of these cucks would make tumblr look bad, I mean have you seen the dev team? There's more problem hair, fat chicks there than a MLP convention.

thats a legitimate concern and i dont think anyones ever brought it up before. activision is experienced at influencing the industry.


people like to bring that kind of thinking up in console war threads, but i gotta wonder if theres any truth to it. i mean, how much of it has to do with them spending money on it? i think its easier to get under peoples skin for denouncing something they like.

HAHAHA OH WOW

its not really the sole reason but seriously amplifies the effect. Its normally a comparison used for gambling like you just lost a lot of hands of black jack and think "ill dump a bunch of money on this next hand. lost so many times in a row THIS one has got to be a winning one"

No, both Zarya and Torbjörn are disgusted by the thougth of omnic rights. It's pretty clear that they are being portrayed as racist or whatever the word is applicable.

Documentary is called All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace.

How's the Overshit general going for you friend? Also if you really believe that you must be pretty retarded honestly, thinking that Actiblizzard isn't trying to win those brownie points at every step with their super progressive game and will backpedal at the sign of the tumblr crying over the "racist" characters. I see you're also the one fag going "it doesn't affect muh gameplay so it's fine to ignore it" Yep just keep ignoring all the bullshit and it'll disappear or stop bothering you I hate fence sitters like you that use this mentality, you disgust me.

its always funny to me how stormniggers get offended by anyone who isnt explicitly on their side 100%

Jesus, how I HATE this Jewfrey Kikeplan faggot.

Kill yourself kike.

Seconded.

Case in point

The development team for hearthstone is like 4 people until maybe a year ago where it got doubled. It was just some shitty side project that turned out to be a cashcow.

"Kill yourself" is a perfectly valid argument and an excellent rebuttal if your home is either Holla Forums.

>wait for hitler 12 years

...

It's funny seeing normalfags trying to fit in while using their buzzwords.

And watch out if you're a Trump supporter


Jeff Kaplan confirmed to be a happy merchant


Hell, people insult more in Super Smash by using their nicknames or fucking miiverse is meaner than Overwatch.

He saved the Patriots and he's now going to save video games as well by destroying Overwatch's e-sports scene. Hopefully this is the beginning of the end for Overwatch. archive.is/FiSw7

Truth.

Who the fuck falls for a scam like this?

I can't stand esports but I've heard that it's a pain in the ass to be on Overwatch's esport scene.
I think it was Richard Lewis who said that if a player came from another major esport game like CS or LoL, it was forbidden for the players and the commentators to mention these non-Blizzard games. Also if a player participated in a controversy, he/she is automatically banned from playing in the Overwatch scene.

What does that even translate to for board members and investors? Why is it so damn important that a trailer gets liked and gets to 10 million quickly?

Well, last year the trailer became the most disliked video on YouTube, and it was the worst selling cod in quite a while.

It is genius really

Come on, you can't make a game like that in less than a year. Sledgehammer wanted to make a WW2 game for ages.

Christ, this timeline depresses me. I expected Blizzard to fall, but that just disgusts me to no end. Riot is true cancer, so for Blizzard to become worse is unspeakable, especially given their past and legacy.
truly a shame, but fuck them.

The real question is how can people be stupid enough to buy lootboxs. They are so easy to get through normal play. You get roughly 1 lootbox per hour, +3 per week for playing arcade. By the time you've got like 30 boxes (and the first 20 are even faster) you should have enough credits to buy a legendary-tier skin you want. By the time you get around 100-150 boxes you should have every skin you actually use except for the event legendaries.

Besides, if you are NOT going to play the game for hundreds of hours, why do you even care about skins and shit anyway? It doesn't make sense to me that somebody who doesn't even really play the game much would spend money for in game stuff, even if they were to make it cash shop exclusive it still wouldn't make sense.

From the normalfags I encountered their reasoning was that the game deserves the extra money for the good times it provides them, Apparently paying 60 bucks isnt enough, gotta give the occasional "donation" to show appreciation.

How much money has WOW made anyways? Considering all the sales of the base game, its expansion packs and all the subscriptions over the years shouldn't it be the highest grossing game of all time?

It wasn't always like that.
Or what?

Overwatch proves how critically important 'diversity' and 'inclusiveness' is to the modern success of a video game.

More than ten billion easy.
