Fuck Bobby Kotick.

The only Blizzard game I wanna play again is Warcraft 3, oh wait, I can't because it was replaced with a fucking horrible demaster.

sail the seas, friend

What’s horrible about it? And can’t you switch to original within rather game?

[–] TrebuchetTaxiService@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Everything is wrong with it and no, you can't switch. You're thinking of switching graphic settings, but the old client as we want it is gone officially.

[–] toastus@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

W3Champions is the client you want.

It's still not the same. Classic bnet is gone for good and so is the old client.

This is a weird thing to see.

Wonderful, one more place I can not buy their games! Obligatory fuck Bobby Kotick.

Hopefully with a way to bypass the Battle.Net launcher after first login...

No need for the battle.net launcher

[–] ijeff@lemdro.id 6 points 1 year ago

Excellent news! I'm still widely skeptical though!

[–] PrivacyBean@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh joy another collection of games to ignore on steam because they will require a second launcher anyways.

[–] MazonnaCara89@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

No it will not require a second launcher as even stated by Mike Ybarra (president of blizzard) on twitter. https://twitter.com/Qwik/status/1681720303389667328

It will require a battle.net account tho.

I believe this when my shit turns gold, and my farts smell like rainbow sherbet 

[–] Montagge@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

Haha finally conceding to things gamers have wanted for years once they're running out of options because of everyone hating them for being a horrible company (horrible management). No thanks, I'll continue to boycott every one of your products for swiftly destroying gamers that dare upset china for mentioning the hong kong protest for human rights

diablo 4 when?
