>rebrands their iconic Battle.net service to "Blizzard App"
>two months later, announces the release of a non-Blizzard game on the platform
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING
>>377664639
it's over abandon ship
play ffxiv, path of exile and shadowverse
>>377664639
It's a sign that Activision is in control now.
>>377665325
Shadowverse is a better game, but the current meta is the worst its ever been.
>>377664639
They were probably trying to stop Activision from taking Battle.net from them and turning it into UPlay 2.0.
It seems they failed.
>>377665325
The environment in FF14 looks so dull and lifeless.
>>377665325
What is good about FFXIV? I already play PoE but still dabble with D3 from time to time so no need to switch there.

Battle.net will be fine. Most popular MMO, RTS, ARPG, and Multiplayer FPS on one service
They ain't gonna take over steam but they will be successful

>Blizzard "games"
>not skinner box simulator 2016
It's pretty hilarious really.
>hey guys we're rebranding battle.net and renaming it to 'blizzard tech', because it makes more sense and it's more in theme with our vision
>a few updates later it's now called blizzard and even the desktop icon is now blizzard
>suddenly reveal destiny 2 will be on it and they even call it by the name battle.net in the blog post
destiny has some unhealthy hype going on plus it looks exactly same as first one from reloadings to fonts to 30fps sluggish movement. i dont really get it how anyone can be exited about it and personally art directions sucks balls.

There was an internal power struggle at activation and blizz dev group were trying to swing their big dick around and show those other boys who were in charge.
Papa activision obviously spanked blizzard and forced them to play nice
