Microsoft’s ‘World of Warcraft’ Gaming Staff

What?

Oh. Right.

What?

More need to do this. Laying off the studio that made hi fi rush should have been the first sign it was needed.

Shit maybe I'll start up a sub again. Haven't played since classic launched.

The next expansion seems good. I’ve been playing cata

Dragonflight has been an amazing breath of fresh air with how it’s been respecting players time compared to SL and BfA.

[-] Sneptaur@pawb.social 1 points 1 month ago

I didn’t mind BfA too much. Shadowlands felt like a drag the entire time though. Definitely my least favorite expansion.

Can't unionize if you're not an important workforce.

[-] woelkchen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Only a single game's team and not even all of Blizzard? American unions are weird.

WoW hasn't been good since vanilla.

WoW hasn't been good ~~since~~ ~~vanilla~~ ~~open-beta.~~.

Blizzard hasn't made a good game since Warcraft 3 came out in 2002.

Agreed. Once they realized how much money they could make by designing MMOs to be addictive, and handed the reins to MBAs, they went down the crapper.

God I always think of the RTS games as being 90s things

[-] PraiseTheSoup@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

In truth I don't think many came after Warcraft 3, but The Frozen Throne expansion would come the following year and WC3 would maintain a pretty impressive player base over the next 10 years.

Sins of a Solar Empire released in 2008, but by that time the RTS genre had fizzled out and most entries would fit more into 4X or Grand Strategy.

Starcraft 2 was 2010, with the final expansion in 2015.

There's several attempts to have a more traditional RTS coming soon/out. Stormgate and Beyond All Reason are the big two.
