I have been a committed fan to your hard work and effort for a very very long time. It's very rare that I see your name and don't get excited. Your reputation alone carried many games to my library since the original Diablo. Diablo II in particular is a game I fondly consider one that officially pulled me into the gaming world. I love you as a company and I love the work you have produced in the past.
With that said... Please don't botch this. It's irrefutable that your recent management team has lead you to a very damaged reputation. I don't know the finer details or politics that you have to deal with, but please help set a new standard and have ACTUAL GAMERS MANAGE A GAMING COMPANY. I, for one, am just so genuinely exhausted with the abused trust we gamers face nowadays with most modern gaming companies...
I won't waste anyone's time describing why gamers are upset because that's been said plenty already. I'll just say that I am excited for Diablo II: Resurrected, but my bruised trust from Warcraft III: Reforged and other modern games have securely convinced me to NEVER pre-order a game again until some serious change happens in this industry. When I give 100% of the money, I think it is fair for me to expect 100% of the game and all its advertised contents.
The gaming industry is young, and the wrong people have capitalized on its youth and are now hijacking the successful momentum of great names like Blizzard until it is eventually bled dry into an empty husk to be absorbed into another company...
Again, I ask to the gaming powerhouse that was once Blizzard... Please don't botch this. I am genuinely worried it's not just my loyalty to Blizzard at stake here...
I would like to clarify that my issues are NOT with the developers. Developers have been catching heat for some reason lately, which makes no sense... The developers of this industry are unsung heroes who deliver us phenomenal entertainment of many forms. The vast majority of my discontent, from what I understand, is with the management teams who publicly make empty promises and decide to release unfinished products WHILE ACCEPTNG FULL PAYMENT. GAMERS WILL WAIT FOR THE BETTER EXPERIENCE. INVESTORS WILL PROFIT WHEN GAMERS ARE HAPPY. It blows my mind watching this industry I've grown to love let the wrong decisions happen and dig their own graves...
I hope all of you and yours are safe and well in these difficult times. Stay safe.
Cheers.
