Imo, if they make some kind of MMO from Diablo, it is likely to be something more like Mobas and less like WoW.
That's like saying "if they make some sort of cake from Diablo, it's likely to be something more like a sp…
I have played WoW off and on for the entire time from release until right now.
There is no point in that spell of nearly 11 years when my sub was inactive, but I WOULD have been playing if it was free.
$15 a month for a game I'm enjoying? I won't …
Hell no. I'd spend my billions on something that would make me happy, not something that would make an entire internet full of whiners whine about my creation.
Sandboxes are and always have been huge. A lot of people have mentioned Minecraft, and have you seen how many titles The Sims has on the top sellers of all time?
What hasn't really developed, despite a lot of hot air, is any sort of true upswing in…
Competitive team PvP game with randomly allocated teams = the perfect Petri dish for breeding virulent strains of toxic bacteria, sorry, players.
Absolutely not unique to HotS or Blizzard games.
I would assume that once someone had been well and truly burned by a failed Kickstarter they won't be back.. but the timespans are so long that you can back a lot of projects before deciding that one has burned you.
I was watching a video of Cabal 2 this morning, it looked bloody awful. Ten years ago it would have impressed.. now, it looks as stale as a ten year old slice of bread
Archeage is the only one on the list that promoted itself as F2P but then cock-blocked me with a paywall before I'd even played enough to decide whether or not I liked the game.

Then again, MoP I don't think actually did well bringing people back either which isn't a good sign for a game when an expansion doesnt drive a spike of returning players.
MoP apparently spiked subs from 9.1 million t…
Originally posted by Burntvet Pumped up reviews/review scores are easy to see: just go look at the official vs player review scores.
Almost all the official ones are higher, there are only a very few exceptions.
That's because reviewers review…
It's interesting that Gauntlet is a regular box-price game, given that I always thought the Gauntlet arcade game was the earliest precursor of the "keep pouring money in to progress" business model that underpins a lot of F2P games.
After spending nearly a decade playing virtually nothing but MMORPGs, I have to say, over the course of the last couple of years, I have spent a lot more time playing ARPGs (mostly Diablo 3, a bit of Marvel Heroes and Path of Exile) and card games (…
Never gotten through a queue so I can't say how long it takes. But yesterday I had about 4300 and progressed a few hundred in half an hour or so before quitting.
