Why? As in, why are they “the last hope”? What can they do that ActiBlizzKing cannot?

Literally anything.
There is currently a handful of devs doing the occational balance patch for SC2 otherwise the game is complelty dead from the developer side. On the MS side, AoE2 and other even older games are doing so much better.

StarCraft 3 and warcraft 4 hopefully.
Maybe a non shit diablo game.

Why would they do that? CoD is a better investment. This is MS. Not some fan boy.
Lmaydev@programming.dev 9 months ago
They need more games for their pass.
Carighan@lemmy.world 9 months ago
They would just contract Blizzard to make that, so if they were able to do it they would have done so already.

Since when was that a thing that Blizzard does?

I haven’t played it but I have read that Diablo 4 has been mostly well received. I guess there’s been a fiasco about one of the updates to it, but that’s not something unique to Blizzard and theoretically could be fixed in another update, no?
