I used to be the biggest Blizzard fan there was or close to it.  I loved Diablo 1/2, Starcraft, World of Warcraft, and Warcraft 2.  It seems lately that I am not interested in any of their new titles.  I kicked my WoW addiction and pawned it off to one of my friends by giving my account away.  I don't see myself buying SC2.  I played the beta and I really didn't care.  Having split the game into 3 different games also helps me not buying it.  I can handle buying one expansion but buying 3 different full priced games is way beyond me.  Sure online is king in SC but to have the story split into three parts is unnecessary.  They did it just fine in Starcraft and Brood Wars.  I just looked at the Diablo 3 new class trailer and it barely interests me at all (makes me not even want to buy the game).  Sure I loved Diablo 2 but the grinding at the high levels was tedious, pointless, and boring.   I can go on and on about how Blizzard doesn't feel the same to me but perhaps my taste have changed (or perhaps Blizzard has failed to come up with something original in 8 plus years).   Anyone else feel disconnected from Blizzard?

WoW is currently as big as it ever has been, 12 million active accounts. Cata will be huge. 

SC2 doesnt overly appeal to me, but it's selling very well.

Diabolo3 is coming out soon I believe, some of my friends are very hyped for it.

SC2 WoW expansion Diabolo3 all within a short time = Bliizard has enterd a golden age. All we need know is some Lost Vinkings!!

No, I think Blizzard has past its' golden age.  Blizzard's golden age was when they released Diablo 1/2, Starcraft, Warcraft 3 and was about to release WoW.

well, you cant be that hard

SC2 is a big hardcore success !!!

You appear to just do not like SC2 ...

I still remember that quote from a month ago where a Blizzard employee said Heart of the Swarm was 18 months out. If that is the case, we will see Heart of the Swarm in 2012 and Legacy of the Void in 2014. 4 years to fully release a game.

Due to this, I am starting to feel the same way. Diablo 3 is probably another year and a half out and nothing after that except Blizzard's new MMORPG IP.

Furthermore, considering how good the quality and quantity of PC games there were before the World of Warcraft (Released in 2004) compared to a year to two after, I fully place the lion's shares of the blame on WoW for essentially killing the PC gaming market and leaving it a beggar for console ports and the occasional great PC exclusive.

Then again, the death of PC gaming may be due more to 7th generation consoles damn near on par with PC in terms of graphics. For $300 you can play Modern Warfare 2 with less hardware worries than someone playing it on a $1500 PC gaming rig. Add to the fact, computer technology moves so fast with a $2000 PC gaming rig losing all relevance in 3 years, it is not a wonder why gamers such as myself have migrated from PC exclusive to almost console exclusive.

Well Blizzard is doing ok so far -- SC2: WoL is a pretty good game, and cataclysm looks like it will be ok at launch. Patch 4.1 looks really weak for cata though, the firelands raid(7 bosses), a 4 boss 5man and new instance maps is all the content for 4.1.

 Though i must say the fanboy response is as blind as ever, you would swear that they missed blizzard announce the firelands as a launch raid last year, Somehow they seem convinced that heroic modes means that bosses should be count 4 times or more and they seem to think its a good idea of blizzards to make progression: level > heroics > latest tier 

not to mention there questions on the raid and dungeons Q&A sucked. Seriously who cares if valnayr shards only drop from 25man uld when cata is out and you only need 5 ppl to complete uld? Where was the good questions like "You mentioned bosses scaling with tiers/ throughout the expansion does this mean more tiers / longer expansions / how will this be conveyed to players" or "Has Blizzard considered doing some epic quests chains involving raid bosses that might give rewards that encourage players to go to certain raids in later patches" (god i wish there was actual quest content at max level, so players could do something when they weren't raiding/pvping)

It's you who changed, not Blizzard. Blizzard is the same. The most conservative game developer in the West.

I loved Orcs and Humans because of its setting but my interest in Blizzard started to disappear after I had played Warcraft 2 and its expansion. I hated the dwarf humor. I didn't like Diablo's atmosphere. When Age of Empires came out Starcraft felt like a joke. WoW looked like kindergarten compared to Dark Age of Camelot.

Not that Blizzard quality changed or anything, I just realized I don't like their clichés and cartoonish style.

The most overrated company in gaming in my opinion.

I always thought they were great. But always overrated. They're massive communities are what helps make the games fun, and imo better than they are from a mechanic standpoint imo. (See Star Craft And War Craft Franchise. I consider Total Annihlation Superior) . And Diablo was a fun little game, but nothing earth shattering to me.

They support their games long after release by making pathes etc. Where other communities die.

The most annoying thing for me is that they made. WoW... and I hate MMO's (which is why) and they've been mostly developing the WoW unieverse. Instead of working on other IP's, but I don't blame them for it, it was the correct business decision obviosly.

Now Starcraft 2, was a fun little game as well. Probably not as good as starcraft BW, but not far off. And the original starcraft wasn't that balanced when it was first released either

But they've always taken forever to put out games... and never put out starcraft ghost... so heh, they're mostly the same quality-wise to me. They're just doing more MMO'ish things.

Who the hell is Blizzard? These days, they are called Activision Blizzard, and yes they have fallen... fallen a long way down, not able to climb back up. They think solely about money now, not 'fanservice' or any of that crap.

Uhm... the developer called Blizzard Entertainment... not the publisher....
