I cancelled my Sprint PCS account. The call dropped twice in the process, "Claire, your virtual service representative" never could understand what I was saying, and on the third call the billing guy didn't quite catch everything I said either. I think they all understood why I was cancelling. Except Claire.
The last great game development house (excluding ourselves, heh) is falling apart. Perhaps they should have Built More Farms. It's the end of an era. Well, maybe Roper & Co.'s new studio will build that cyberpunk Diablo I've been wanting ;)

Yeah, I was disappointed about the Blizzard employees leaving. They even said that the reason they were leaving is because they didn't have enough creative freedom. Why wouldn't their parent company give them as much freedom as possible? They've proven that they can make great games and most have sold millions of copies. I just don't get it.
Bill Roper and Co. will probably hire up most of the good talent from Blizzard and sort of reform their company has a "mini-Blizzard" type thing. This'll probably effect Blizzard's future games and such, which is a real shame. I hear Vivendi is selling off Blizzard, so that may ruin the company right there (pushy publishers have ruined more games then I care to count). I really love Warcraft, and it saddens me to think that the world maybe done with forever.
Speaking of which, I'm off to buy the Frozen Throne. Wee.

I know, this isn't the 'exact' board to post it on but I have a different take on this. No disrespect to Bill & Co but currently WoW, if I'm not mistaken, is being developed in Blizzard South (Irvine). Which after seeing WoW this year at E3 and the gleem in most of the Bliz's guys eyes the game should be intact. I guess I have to play that waiting game for this mmog as well and just hope for the best. I suppose the silver lining would be that the game industry can only benefit from this.

Lets just hope whoever ends up purchasing Vivendi's game divison doesn't rush World of Warcraft out before it's done.
