last year Blizzard bought themself from Activision but it seems they will keep the same shitty marketing policy...
Well that at least opens the door for the possibility of future improvement and a year is probably not enough time to notice much improvements as I imagine there are still legal ties over what they can and can't do with projects developed under Activision including Diablo III. Time will tell though.
...."in order to become an independent (albeit publicly-traded) corporate entity.".....and there is where the problem lies. Now they have to please shareholders first and those people are the scum of the earth....rich, egotistical, idiots who have no clue about games or the industry that demand profits.
