What is the point of this thread? What the fuck is Raptr?

How the fuck has WoW more players than DotA2 - WoD hasn't even launched yet?

WoW will always and forever be big lol it will shrink slowly but it will continue to retain it's ''big'' status.

Its 2 things:

1) People that play the game on the Raptr service
2) Not the actual total populous of gamers.

If only the Sacred series hadn't died, and ended up with the abomination that is Sacred 3.

I prefer not to speak of the dark times of abominations and annoyingly bad narrations.

He keeps saying that PoE is the best thing ever ..all the fucking time. But when D3 and PoE launched the new content recently which game did he played for some ARPG fun? Yea .. Diablo 3. Did he even tryed PoE? Fucking NO.

What Kripps says and what he does seems "slightly" different.

All in all when he wanted a good ARPG experience and fun his instinct told him to go to Diablo 3. And he is a guy that constantly bad mouths D3 and praises PoE as the second coming of Christ. I guess he lacks credibility.

Deep down he probably wants to play PoE, but he is a streamer first and foremost. He will go for the game with the most number of viewers.

didnt that service give away in game pets in blizzard games if you linked your two accounts? also krip recently went the 'sponsored' route, he says he has full autonomy in game selection, but money is a pretty good motivator.

Who cares? They are different games

1- ARPG
2- Arcade

You can enjoy both but you CANT actually compare them lol

Support's asleep at the wheel...

There is a reason why i have chosen that title. When its D3 bashing it stays on General for a long time and when its PoE bashing in detriment of D3 it is removed almost in a minute.

It works.
That is the nature of the moderators. Its actually a pre-requisite to be a moderator ..first and foremost you have to hate Diablo3 and Blizzard and only after you have to love PoE.

By whatever metric, other than number of sales (because of Diablo 2) and critic score (of paid reviews; seriously: There is no way honest critics COULD have rated Diablo 3 that much higher than it's fanbase), Diablo 3 was a massive failure.

I believe Blizzard WAS sold by Vivendi, not only to grab cash -- but because Vivendi didn't have faith in Blizzard's projects and wanted to cash out before WoWs inevitable decline and Blizzard having nothing of value left.

I would not be surprised if Activision simply shuts down large parts of Blizzard, unless big heads are cut off, after they fail to make the Diablo 3 expansion 2 sheduled for Q4 2015 fun, like they didn't manage to make Project Titan fun, and failed to make Diablo 3 fun.

We may be seing other companies owned by Activision create Warcraft and Starcraft games and/or expansions!

+1. I see a dark future for Blizz.

There're a lot of examples of companies that can't survive to a huge success. After Moto Razr V3 success, Motorola Mobility got hurt. After feature phones success, Nokia got hurt during smartphone era. After Steve Jobs 1st departure, Apple got hurt. After Steve Jobs death, we'll see. After 2001's Lord of Destruction and 2004's WoW, we're experimenting the same symptoms at Blizzard.

If you have a golden egg, then your profit comes from past rents, you're enjoying that success, but no game lasts forever, so you need to take care about your future. The good news are that you have the right tools: talented devs and and an infinite legion of people deserving to try your products, so it should be an easy deal. The sad thing is that then you've fired Steve Jobs after releasing the iPod, so after iPod's decline there will be no iPhone, no iPad, ...

Like Apple, Blizzard had the "shut up and take my money" effect even before people knew what they were releasing. Recent failures are killing it. And also, they don't have Steve Jobs anymore.
