@teg: Smart man, I'm the same. I much prefer quality single player gaming experiences like jedi fallen order, last of us (had online but single player was where it was at), god of war, beyond 2 souls, mass effect 1-2 etc. I feel single player games offer a more immersive experience and put an emphasis on telling engaging stories which just aren't present in these live service games/mmo's of today. I also feel some of these in game economies in these live services games are also just plain immersion breaking and/or destroy the player experience by disrupting its pacing, ex. making the game more grindy to promote spending.

@teamo765: It saddens me but I agree with the others. Hello games is a smaller indie company and works hard to please their existing fan base as a means to establish a name for themselves. Instead of releasing a new game they opted to allocate all resources to fixing the current game and not giving up on it. This differs to how triple A game companies operate who instead will pull resources if a games does not rake in as much money as expected or if the game itself is deemed not to be as financially lucrative (ex. RTS might not be as lucrative a genre as a TFT style shooter or a remaster not as lucrative as a new game). We have seen Triple A gaming companies that will abandon games by the wayside if they feel it won't make enough money. While this is speculation this is probably the reason features were cut from Reforged to begin with. That and probably time constraints. We have also seen other examples of blizzard doing this with titles like heroes of the storm where cuts were made and much of the support for the game was dropped (ex. esport dropped). I'm not sure waiting on blizzard will yield anything fruitful given past track records for this company. Triple A companies today are only focused on how much money they can possibly squeeze out of your wallet, and blizzard is no different.

@Barighm: Lol yes don't know why they are misleading people still. Also there is so much stuff missing from the original game I'm not even sure they will be able to fix everything. People have long lists up of missing features from the original game. Ex. include certain dialogue from units missing and even things like more varied attack animations. This was supposed to be a remaster...not a demaster.

@uninspiredcup: At least in the past their arrogance was warranted as they were kinda like the cd project red of today. By gamers for gamers kinda thing. Unfortunately they have basically did a 180 and dragged their past legacy through the mud. After Activision took over things steady got worse as they became more corporate and less passionate regarding the games they make. Soon they just seemed to have fallen out of touch with what their customers wanted from them. Some of those recent blizzcon debacles are evidence of this - ex. mobile d3 immortal, etc.

@barnold81: Kills any creativity because now people won't be bothered to make maps if they aren't even acknowledged for their work. There goes my dota 3

@ecs33: My man, truuuuu.

@hyru99: I mean I guess? Servers will only remain up for how long they are paying the bills. If the company ceases to exist I don't think they will keep them up. Never the less eventually they will come down even if blizzard doesn't close down. As blizzard becomes more corporate they will seek to find new ways to cut costs and they will probably start by closing the servers for some of its older games. This was why people were originally concerned and up in arms about it being always online. You don't really own these type of games you rent them.

@aross2004: Today's blizzard seems a bit incompetent, but I suppose time will tell. Definitely won't be buying it day 1 though considering Blizzards track record. I remember D3 also had problems at launch with its auction house implementation. Truly destroyed the in game economy. Lets hope they learned, but this is blizzard we are talking about so I remain a bit cynical.

@mogan: They still have the old blizzcon 2018 trailer advertised on the official product page amongst other missing features that have been cut, like its what your going to get when you purchase the game. Communication really was lacking here...

@Iemander: Yes, and its like a slap in the face because they fail to take responsibility regarding their mistakes such as their lack of communication regarding the changes made. Instead of owning up to their mistakes this corporate statement seems more like its putting the blame more on the fans. They still are even advertising the content that was cut from the game on their product page like the blizzcon 2018 trailer amongst other features not in the game.
