- CmonDev 12y agoNot to mention that Blizzard was sold eventually.
- Goronmon 12y agoI'm not sure how your point relates to the topic being discussed. Blizzard has kept WoW going strong for a decade, releasing expansions (not sequels) every two years. Diablo is on it's third iteration since debuting in 1996. These are examples are a game developer taking a different path than releasing as many titles as possible as fast as possible.
- jkaunisv1 12y agoNot concerned about innovation here. I was listing companies that have made a lasting career of videogames, which is what the parent was asking for. And while Blizzard has milked WoW for a lot, I don't think they're done. They're planning for another decade at least and I don't doubt they'll do it, profitably. Finally, yes the series were created in the 90's but they've updated them with thoughtful sequels with good content. SC2 is not just a reskin of SC in the way parent comments are describing the Angry Birds franchise.
