I don't play online games anymore, but if I ever decided to do it again, I wouldn't touch anything by Hi-Rez.

They make amazing prototypes…then ruin it

So everyone before the money people are great at their jobs, then the whole thing is workshopped to maximise profit which inevitably turns it into a steaming pile of absolute shit?

Ah yes, crunch, famously really good for creativity and solid products...

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Well there would be more crunch if they hadn’t scaled down the game

But having slower content updates would have helped a lot more
