The problem is Blizzard can’t regardless because Blizzard doesn’t exist anymore. Morhaime, Adham, and Pearce are now all gone. And while they were never a true independent group since 94, with Morhaime still there up until the Vivendi acquisition they could have fought for studio independence. Once Vivendi and Activision merged…that dream died.
I’m with you. I rarely play Overwatch anymore (my boys still do). I play Hots with my wife and youngest son regularly, and SC2 with my boys and alone still daily. I unsubbed WoW after Legion launched…I couldn’t keep playing it anymore and didn’t want to keep paying $15 a month for a game I wasn’t getting value from. Hearthstone is fine as a bathroom game every now and then, but otherwise its frustrating and terrible to keep up with the deck/card choices. Blizzard has a fairly toxic community as a whole…massive elitism and hardcore vs casual classism in all their games.
