But it did.

WoW set a benchmark for the MMO genre that has never and will never be topped; Legion is one of the best expansions released to date.

SC2 is still to this day the single biggest competitive RTS on the market, its position has never even been remotely threatened.

Diablo 3 had a rough start but has been polished into a very worthy successor and is a fun game overall right now, definitely the best in its genre.

Overwatch is the hottest new IP of the decade and one of the most popular games in the world at this very moment; it redefined the FPS genre and already the latest wave of shovelware FPS'es are being referred to as "Overwatch clones."

Even Heroes has been made into a fun game with a growing community.

Blizzard is the most successful video game company of all time.

Oh, and I forgot to mention Hearthstone which has been essentially a money printing factory.
