I've played a lot of ARK: Survival Evolved with friends on the PC and it can definitely be a lot of fun (especially with access to the modding community). Still, there's so many games I've played that I wish they could just hand to Blizzard for six months to optimize them for weaker hardware lol, there's definitely truth to the usual Steam games featuring great ideas but less than stellar execution.
One thing I've always loved about Blizzard is how great they're able to make games look that can run on remarkably weak hardware, and that balance seems to take a lot of technical skill and experience that the average smaller and new teams lack.

I have always found Blizzard games not to be class-leading in terms of sheer visual fidelity.
What they successfully do though is use the assets they do have to maximum effect.
Overwatch for instance isn't a graphics powerhouse, but artistically it is full of charm which covers up it's deficiencies.

Well yes, I'd never claim that any of their games are cutting edge in regards to graphics (outside of the cinematics which, obviously, they're as good as anyone at). They are, however, about as savvy at designing an art style that looks beautiful and distinctly "Blizzard" without straining the hardware as anyone outside of Nintendo. That has always impressed me about them; they make their games available to the masses while still putting in the effort to make them look great as well.
