plans on making D3 an E-sport? what kind of question is that? how about making the game half decent first...
I wasn't expecting much from him when I started reading the interview.. Browder and Kim are the ones who actually have to answer about HoTS's direction. |

We've known this for years. This question continually comes up in interviews and Blizzard has always said that they read fansites and take into account what's said.
Yet both mods and posters here seem completely oblivious to this fact. Whenever you make a suggestion or a criticism about the game here, you get hounded by posters and locked by mods who demand that you move it to the B.net forums, because that's apparently where Blizzard reads.
No. Hopefully, you'll all get a clue now. They read TL.Last edit: 2012-11-19 21:03:22 |

I guess you need a lesson on PR101. They would never say they don't go to TL. Either they don't go, or they don't care.. because this forum (as well as many other medias, like Reddit) has expressed with very good arguments the numerous flaws about SC2, and we have not been given any good answers to them.

The campaign is incredible. I think it’s our best campaign ever. The cinematics team outdid themselves. I can’t wait to share the work that they’re doing.
This got me excited. |

I saw him quickly at the Blizz merchandise store, accompanied by his bodyguards. I don't know why, but he didn't look happy at all.
If i was him after Day1 it'd be more than just unhappy as well.
Nice read, still the responses from the likes of Diamond make me think if that's really all there is to. |

This is just nonsense. Based on what? All the feedback about B.net sucking mostly came from TL. Stuff like the upcoming infestor nerf also came from TL. There is nothing to suggest that they ignore fansites. Blizzard has always tried to answer what they can. If you read the WoW forums, they post a lot about posting, e.g. why they sometimes don't respond, how best to give feedback, etc. And reasons for why they don't respond can include: they haven't decided what to do, they don't want to promise anything, they want to see players debate it out, etc. It makes no sense for them to ignore fansites given how many people are on TL for SC2 and MMO-Champ for WoW. As proof that they don't ignore fansites, here's one of the WoW class designers on MMO-Champ.
The question should be why are you the last to know? Why are so many posters and mods here so oblivious to what was bleedingly obvious, often to the point of hostility?Last edit: 2012-11-19 21:01:49 |

Bronze league! That is just where I want my Blizzard CEOs, to busy making games to play SC2.
I also like the comments about reacting to other games and their features. In this generation of tech, there is to much chasing the other guy's success, rather than trying to generate their own. Everyone wasted so much money trying to make their own Facebook, Iphone, WoW, CoD and no one was every able catch them. I would rather companies do their own thing than try to chase other games newest feature. |

I want hats for my marines! Or a skin that makes them look like sweet 80s Rambo. If I could use the Ire Chef skin for my zealots, I would. |

Well, you may think that this is just standard PR, with not much content in it.
But, I am personally glad that MM knows just a tiny bit about the game. Like who Flash/MVP/MMA is, that he's bronze, etc... I know, here, you gamers would expect MM to know all that stuff. But he's the CEO of Blizzard, not some balance designer. You'd be surprised by how little some CEO know about what's not directly related to the product they sell.
Oh, and the campaign thing about HotS makes me all giddy =) |

"Well our focus right now is really on the content in Heart of the Swarm, not around what other things we can add necessarily in terms of micro-transactions or business. I think that it's much more important that we focus on making a great expansion and I think the current model is a viable model."
This is completely wrong, unfortunately. It's not really a viable profit-maximiation business model, and if shareholders/analysts paid as much attention Activision Blizzard as they do with Apple and everyone of their products, they would have demanded Mike Morhaimme to be fired immediately.

He is the fucking CEO of Blizzard. Not doing particularly well at his job though. But still the CEO. |

Rodrigo, SC2mx: How does Blizzard feel against other games or companies, like League of Legends for example? Do you guys think that these games are taking the public figures, or the player base from Blizzard games? Do you feel threatened as a company?
We don't feel threatened by other games, especially other good games. Like we said, I think we welcome competition. I think it will encourage us to make our games even better. I think it's great when other companies can produce popular games, so good for them.
with respect to recent comments about features from lol/dota coming to sc2, yea, its pretty much confirmed they will be doing jack all to catch up with those titles. |
