The full details of the Activision Blizzard lawsuit (content warning: rape, suicide, abuse, harassment) are being updated as new information becomes available.ĭiablo 2: Resurrectedlaunches on Thursday, but those who pre-purchased the game on PC can install it now through Blizzard’s application. Activision Blizzard has denied the allegations. I wouldn't fault anyone for not wanting to jump in.ĭiablo 2 Resurrected is out on PC and the PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and Xbox Series consoles, for $40.Editor’s Note: A lawsuit has been filed against Activision Blizzard by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, which alleges the company has engaged in abuse, discrimination, and retaliation against its female employees. Though Resurrected wasn't handled by Blizzard, but instead by developer Vicarious Visions, this is still an important property for Blizzard. Then, this summer, Blizzard was hit with a lawsuit by the state of California over allegedly creating a hostile environment for its female workers. In 2019, the company sided with China after a Hearthstone player defiantly proclaimed his support for an independent Hong Kong.
Today's Blizzard, however, is rife with controversy instead of excellence.
Then, with World of Warcraft, Blizzard would go on to reinvent the massively multiplayer online role-playing game (aka the MMORPG genre). It created a sequel that blew away the original Diablo, while also creating incredible strategy games like Warcraft and Starcraft. When Diablo was released in 2000, Blizzard was at its apex. That's not the only thing that's lost its charm. That need to hunt down better gear has become such a staple in subsequent games that it's worn out its charm for me. The point of the game went from trying to stop Diablo to getting the most epic loot possible.
It was amazing to play through the game and discover that when you started on a higher difficulty level you got a whole mess of new equipment, making everything you'd previously had look like utter crap. On its initial release, the original Diablo 2 had a unique charm. Even so, with all these improvements, I wasn't compelled to play Resurrected for more than an hour at a time.
