None of them?

I used to enjoy Blizzard games back in the day, but I don't know if any of them are good anymore since they merged with Activision. I can only imagine that game quality will degrade even more now that they are acquired by Microsoft. I've never actually played Diablo 2 or Warcraft 3 though, even though they both look fun. Perhaps I should buy copies of them now, before they are potentially not available anymore?

The downturn came when they merged with Activision around 2008 with Bobby Kotick at the helm. I really hope the guy gets the boot sooner rather than later.

Though saying that a lot of talent has already left the Blizzard studios (main devs working on WoW). So only time will tell if they can go back to their hey-day. Hopefully now they're from the shackles of Activision they can go back to making exceptional games.

On talent I have no doubt the merger made both companies worse and Bobby is likely the main reason. But on the profitability I have the impression they have grow a lot in the same period. Like we can hate the man for who he is and what he done as gamers, but for stockholders they were probably happy (if not they would have sacked him long ago).
