Ultimately capitalism is a critical part of our country, but it does not solely define us. Little things like democracy and human rights are still a part of that definition too.

Those people are busy making money off of China.

This is America. Everything is for sale... for the right price.

That was blizzard then, its just a name now like many other old developer studios.. once they are bought out and passed around town like a whore. It's not the same company anymore and hasn't been for some time. :o

The tone of D3 should have been obvious, it was to some of us :mad: WoW killed the MMORPG genre and the company. I feel not one ounce of pity for whatever it is now, mobile games company.

Desktop PC computer developers are just indie. PC rides bitch with consoles/mobile. I haven't touch a new game in forever.

Ahhumm.. you know that is complicated. You go to a store and the chinesium tools are whats affordable and the standard American is the premium (not standard) and the German versions are the upgrade to that. I get a little cynical. Some people took a shortcut to earn more profits but changed the way things are done across the board. Would take a significant shake up to turn that boat around and it might not be politically possible.

Our automobile companies go to other nations (fiat owns practically everything). Americans are too expensive to pay, in America. Manufacturing is seen as despicable and only for people entering the country. We push a lot of papers around. We have poor confidence in ourselves (unless its in a country music song to make $$$)

The things you say are noble, I tried to argue this once, on another board and was told this isn't Mayberry anymore. I also got caught up in communist accusations because I didn't support the status quo and questioned if it was really American anymore.

OP is a legit complaint about Blizz and I agree w loramin 100%, but how did Blizz drop the ball with classic? I'm loving classic lol.

You mean something that was originally created when it was still Blizzard?

I thought you abandoned this forum for Rants & Flames because you can't handle any criticism without melting down.

@Loramin: Besides my desktop PC vs. Mobile argument goes the way of the automobile replacing the horse and buggy. Convenience wins and I am just mad/bad/sad because I don't like that garbage.

Hey, remember the time we tried to stand up against China?

It was called the TPP.
