Dunno how many people care but basically Blizzard has gone down the toilet since they merged with Activision. Used to be a big fan of their games until about two years ago whenever I started noticing that all they cared about anymore were micro transactions instead of making a decent product.

Was looking forward to Diablo 3 but they announced that they're going to allow people to sell items in it through an auction house system for real life money.

I mean I understand that shit has always been happening in games and even happens here, but at least back in the day companies like Blizzard actually enforced their rules and banned botters and lame fuckers that went out and actually spent real money on an in game currency. Now they are not going to do anything about it in their next release and on top of that they're incorporating this garbage into their game to cut out the middle man. From a business standpoint yeah, they will make probably countless millions but honestly it ruins the game completely for two reasons:

1. China is going to bot/farm the fuck out of this game and ruin the economy in two months give or take.

2. People with more money than me are just going to buy their shit and it's going to get old real quick.

Anyways heres some nerd who sums up what I'm trying to say only he does it better. 12 minute rant about how fucking stupid this decision is but if you're a fan of Blizzard's shit it's worth listening to.
