Microsoft made their decision with Windows 8 and what they were doing there. It became abundantly clear to me then. They are trying to stop piracy in every aspect they can. It's admirable. But by trying to target a few, they are affecting the masses. Blizzard didn't learn from that mistake, and everyone jumped ship as soon as that happened.
Microsoft buried themselves in the past week. I'm going to change over my pre-orders tomorrow.
Time to abandon ship. I'm done.

What happened with Blizzard?
-
They made Diablo 3 always on. No offline play at all. Such a waste of money. Sitting on my shelf collecting dust. Worked great on my Mac though.

I don't know anything about Diablo, but isn't that a game like DOTA and the likes where you have to play with others, more or less? Or maybe DOTA was based off Diablo or something...
-
Not sure what was based off of what. It is multiplayer based. Party system, the whole works. But, the great thing about Diablo II (and the first Diablo from my understanding) is that they were EXCLUSIVE TO EACH OTHER. They had the right idea by making it one less choice on the main menu, but they screwed their main fanbase by choosing to make that game always on. Not to mention the fact that you could pay your way to top equipment. I actually fell for that for a bit. Then I realized something. It didn't matter. However, I did the responsible thing. Instead of making fifty -blam!- you threads on their site, I just uninstalled it and moved on... Yeah, Diablo III was that depressing for me.

Ah, well that's a shame. I generally like Blizzard. At the very least, they have probably the best customer support of any gaming company... ever, really. So there's that at the very least. :)

Their account security is top notch, as it should be for a company that manages the best MMORPG on the market right now. But, they failed me with Diablo.
