The fact that Blizzard is rereleasing Classic Wow this Summer should be a strong indicator of where modern games stand, even if it's in the MMORPG genre.
- ungzd 7y agoI rather interpret it as argument for "timelessness" of games. People still play 80s games, and it's not because 90s games are worse. (However, Blizzard is degrading, and I find everything that they released after "original" WoW awful: SC2, Diablo 3, Overwatch, countless extensions for WoW, all of this look like developed by noname Chinese shop)
- alexgmcm 7y agoI think some of that is just nostalgia though - I mean it will be interesting to see how popular it is. I started playing WoW when it first came out and stopped after a few months, but it seems bizarre to me that people would want to play an older version of the game presumably without all the modern fixes and QoL improvements.
- Fnoord 7y agoWhat about the fact that Blizzard is releasing a mobile Diablo game? What kind of strong indicator is that?
