I keep seeing the posts about OW2 where everyone is acting like blizzard is getting destroyed by the poor reviews, but, like you said, they still already made bank on these games in spite of all the complaints that have existed since launch. Blizzard just out here like:

Completely agree. Remember when people lost their shit over horse armor in Oblivion? That would be seen as reasonable now. They just kept forcing these things until it was normalized, and now we've had an entire generation grow up with MTX as the norm.
For real this seems like a major red flag.
Awesome, the episode they added to the original Quake was fantastic so this should deliver as well. Also, I never played the N64 game either. Nightdive is too good for this world.
Cool, now make the search useful again by letting me do -thingIdon'twant or "thing I do want" in quotes. Why did that functionality even go away? Search is such garbage now that tries to get you to click on shit you didn't search for.
I love the content/creators, but hate the company that runs it. Sadly, unless you are willing to give up the channels you love there isn't much in the way of alternatives.
Too many current-thing jokes has been an issue in 2/3 of the episodes. Forget aging well; the jokes didn't even land now. For me, it's 0-3, and I think I'm going to be dipping out unless I later hear it has a consistent return to form.
Let’s not think about the Reddit of today, let’s think about Reddit of old. Rome wasn’t built in a day.
I can agree with this to a degree, but can't we just not think of reddit? I mean, back then, I don't recall redditors obsessing over other sites as much as I have seen on lemmy. Digg was the top dog, and I don't recall daily threads about reddit's numbers or how it wasn't matching up.
It was just it's own thing and not constantly comparing itself to it's alleged competition. I feel like that helped it grow into it's own thing, and we should give lemmy a chance to do the same instead of trying to turn it into reddit 2.0. That said, I might just be forgetting—there could've been constant 'sky-is-falling-because-we-aren't-Digg' posts—but I just don't recall them.
While I don't regret watching it—and I'd probably even throw on a new season if it gets one—I felt like it was missing any true classic episodes. I also kept having this strange sense of familiarity with episodes, as if it was just repurposing or rehashing older Star Trek plots.
I kept thinking, "Wasn't there a TNG/DS9/Whatever episode that explored this same general concept/idea, but better?". It felt like it was maybe borrowing just a bit too much from it's inspiration.
I was on reddit before the digg exodus, and the current state of lemmy feels somewhat reminiscent of those times. When communities are smaller there is just a completely different feel than the 1 million+ subscriber goliaths some subreddits became.
Yeah, I was about to say, 99% of people are either unaware or do not care. Don't mistake Lemmy's privacy opinions as representative of the general population.
