ComradeYellow Posted July 15, 2021 Posted July 15, 2021 Latest news from the Chinese gaming front: https://www.theguardian.com/news/2021/jul/15/china-video-game-censorship-tencent-netease-blizzard Well hopefully those flowers will blossom soon, gaming is still kind of an awkward thing in the Middle Kingdom, but the doors seem to be slowly opening up. It boils down to the usual weeding out of contradictions and finding some kind of sweet spot that works for everyone.
Mamoulian War Posted July 15, 2021 Posted July 15, 2021 IIRC, someone was talking few days/weeks ago, about Black Geyser. Today, it got it's own GOG page.

BruceVC Posted July 17, 2021 Posted July 17, 2021 Its a bit old but I only watched it this week.

Its a list of serious indictments and grievances towards Blizzard, they need to address it and I would expect people to be fired if some of these allegations are true.

Quite sickening to read about that suicide. Afrasiabi's departure seems connected with this for sure at least, with the way he silently dissappeared recently.
Malcador Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) Yep, I guess Brack will resign. Although this seems like a mess Morhaime handed him - apparently WC3 Reforged was a cluster**** due to insufficient budget and a tight timeline from corporate, as well. Then again, all said, the stuff in the lawsuit is from one side so far. Edited July 22, 2021 by Malcador Why has elegance found so little following?

melkathi Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 It is a lawsuit not filed by an employee though but an agency. So it can;t be shrugged off as a vendetta by a disgruntled former employee. 2 Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).

Lexx Posted July 23, 2021 Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) Well, that's pretty cool. Kinda wish we would get new expansions for other old games as well. In fact, I kinda hope they will find a way to add new content into Diablo 2 Resurrected.
