Blizzard isn’t the same company it once was. It used to be known for deep gameplay and creative stories but now it’s focused entirely on the free to play skinners boxes of card games, a mmo, and loot boxes to monetize the other games. Almost the entire early-days staff has moved on to other companies. Blizzard doesn’t exist any more, just a big corporation with the same name

Ain't this the truth. Most of the OG Blizzard team members have left; it is nowhere near the company that made Warcraft, Diablo, Blackthorne, Starcraft et al.

The writing was on the wall with Diablo 3's item market. D3 itself is just... Forgettable?
