@inebriantia @williamzamora 58 hours is a long time. The vast majority of people who will buy this game won't beat it in a week. Just because there are people who can run 15 miles, doesn't mean 15 miles isn't a long run.
It's weird. Everyone keeps whining about how all free games go pay-to-win, but I have yet to come across a free game where I feel like I lost because the other person spent real money. I guess I just stay away from the shitty games.
Diablo 3 is a flop. The only reason it sold so well was because of hype; everyone assumed it would live up to whatever was hoping it would be. Blizzard usually has a good track record so no one thought about it and everyone just bought the game right away. Look how many people now, who bought the game, that are still playing it. Me and everyone I know stopped playing it months ago. I'm sure there are hundreds of thousands of other people who agree. Blizzard got drunk off of WoW and they're main focus is reinforcing gear grinding in Diablo 3 and profiting off of it with a real-money auction house (which, insanely enough, people are actually using). Bad game from a bad team, and I'm glad someone who set the standard is telling the truth.
@fedejico He only apologized because he has to in order to make the company look good. He already let slip how immature he is, and also how angry he is. There are some things you just can't take back, especially when everyone knows you're only taking it back for PR reasons.
The reason game companies are so scared of free-to-play becoming a trend is because they realize that in order to make money they'll actually have to make a good game. Right now they can just hype it up with marketing and make all their money in the first week. After that it doesn't matter what you think because you already paid them. Although, there's so much irony in that, of all companies, EA is the one commenting on this.
