I guess they’re giving up on convincing people to download their launcher.

    Such a shame that nobody cares - because Blizzard has been irrelevant for a long time

      Isn’t Diablo 4 one of the top profitable games this year (if you include extra transactions), and are there deets on how much Overwatch 2 makes in a month?

      Naturally gamers here don’t care, but I imagine much like Madden or Fifa the mainstream buys tons of Blizzard stuff.

      When I did in home jobs decades ago there were quite a few people who played Warcraft and not even remotely familiar with other games let alone how to use their PCs

      I mean Diablo 4 is going gangbusters right now. They may be irrelevant to your tastes but clearly they’re pretty popular with gamers as a whole still.

        I fully agree. My statement was meant to be subjective. Gaming became so mainstream, they can sell anything and make millions as long as the games have new shiny graphics. For me as a former Diablo2 player, Blizzard became irrelevant with Diablo3 being a huge disappointment and PoE coming out. As you say that is ofc just my opinion.
