Since many of there games are online only or online required when the servers go down( and they will) there games are nothing.

Soo noo.

(diablo3 on consoles ia awesome thou all haill offline play)

That's the entire PS4 library untli they allow easy use of external hard drives to save downloads and patches for the long term.

Seriously, no game you buy for the PS4 or Xbox1 is actually on the disk you receive; the moment they stop supporting it those games are gone, which is fairly true for most games these days.

Yes, parts of games that doesn't fit on the disc are sometimes patched in but it's often multiplayer content (for instance Uncharted 4) so that when servers are shut down, it wouldn't make any difference. You're still able to play the singleplayer content with only the disc and no online (server) connection.

Well, unless of course your game is Assassin's Creed: Unity where you'd be pretty fucked without patches :p

Well I just like Diablo and Overwatch.
But they do seem to produce a lot of quality titles, and one thing I like about Blizzard is that they support their games long term, and are dedicated to making them better. Diablo 3 upon release was not a good game. Today it is, thanks to years of updates from Blizzard.

While you're right, it's kinda funny that other studios are crucified for bringing in the quality through patches post launch XD
