  To what? The bloated, rotting corpse of ABK, with Kotick acting as necromancer puppeteer? Nah.

    Nah, the publisher that made WC3 and StarCraft… i know they were already dead but it’s a bummer to see blizzard so completely consumed by capitalism.

      I do mourn the death of OG Blizz. Warcraft 3, StarCraft, and Diablo 2 were a huge part of my childhood gaming experience. Even OG WoW, though what made it magical was mostly the friends made along the way.

      But that Blizz died a looooong time ago. Started sometime around Mists of Pandaria, and the tombstone was set around the time Diablo 3 came out.
