They’ve been making Diablo 4 for years. Just because they had nothing to show last year didn’t mean it didn’t exist, just that it didn’t exist in a form worth showing anything substantial of.  People got pissed over nothing.

Jason has been reporting on its existence since like 2016...

...look, there’s lots of reasons to hate Blizz, but come off it, we’ve known Diablo 4 was in development for years, they have a playable demo, only a complete idiot would think that this was a reactionary announcement to distract from the Hong Kong mess.

'a lot more fun' is a bit of a stretch, don't you think? An 80+ hour game with lots of plot and emotionally charged content vs a remake of a PS1 game, that's a big gap in comparison.

uhhh based on how he was playing earlier, he absolutely was not. Frank has done a great job with Puli and the roster in general. Puli showed flashes of skill to start the year but then had several poor performances in a row. Meanwhile, Willian has been playing really well, CHO back from injury and playing great, and…

Frank isn’t constantly blowing the American kid?! This Super Frank chump mustn’t know what the fuck he’s talking about! Yay, jingoism!!

Another point that crossed my mind.

As a black male, that isn’t fucking Blackface. That is a spectacularly created costume.

Annnnnd now you’re whitewashing.  

This is going too far. She perfectly recreated the character. She’s not saying that his skin color is a costume, she is treating the whole character as one. What was she supposed to do, make the character white? Then wouldn’t there be people shitting on her for black erasure? Should males complain because she is…

Oh a tumblr post. My whole world view is changed now.

She’s treating it as a costume, to look like a fictional character she likes as accurate as possible, not to mock people of a race or do a goddamn minstrel show, this is all so incredibly dumb...

I mean, you can just click “Employee Login” too, it’s not an actual login prompt or anything.

The tweet only had 57 comments on it. I dont speak Japanese but I doubt all 57 were even negative. This wasn’t some nationwide outrage. This is a writer needing to file something quickly for work.

Shhhh, don't get in the way of hating on 'entitled gamers'.

Amazing. Every word of what you just said is wrong. 

If you go down and read the replies, it’s pretty clear that the community downvoted that post because at that point, the mod who wrote the apology continued to refuse to lift a ban on the user in question even after they received confirmation that they had banned the wrong person.

You need to click the image on the second-most downvoted comment if you want to understand the joke. It’s based on Avengers: End Game. If you haven’t seen the movie, then yeah, you wouldn’t get the joke.

Is Steam forcing him to sign a legal agreement prohibiting him from selling this game on any other PC launching platform, as a condition of being able to be on Steam at all?

If so, please provide any evidence you have of that occurring, because, yes, that would in fact be just as outrageous as what Epic does.

Sounds like you weren’t doing much thinking after all.
