That decision is working out so well for them, too! It's setting records!

    It hasn't stopped the game from being in the top 25 most played on Steam though. And I'll bet that number is disappointing to Blizzard too, but I'm going to guess a large number of those people leaving negative reviews are still playing the game, which doesn't help.

    The vast majority of them probably never played the game in the first place.

    Eh, I don't know about that. It's free to play and huge in popular culture because tons of people played it.

    It's huge in popular culture because of the source filmmaker porn. Certainly not the game itself.
