Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.

This is a complete reach, comon now.

Blizzard bringing games to steam is news. Lots of people care that games are on steam. No surprises here.

One is about the merger which is current news.

One is about declining overwatch 2 players.

And then one about overwatch 2.

Yea some “conspiracy”.

Straight rage bait.

I installed Overwatch 2, played it for 30 mins and uninstalled it. It's a shame. Overwatch 1 was awesome.

I stopped caring the moment they dropped PvE.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago

This doesn't feel like astroturfing to me, one is purely negative, one is about a merger and I would consider neutral, and the other 3 are about a massive game coming to the biggest platform, something PC gamers have been begging for forever

I read the title and was like "talking shit about them surely". Can't believe only one is really negative. It's the ugly rotting corpse of blizzard with a big ol Activision arm elbow deep up the ass waving it around. Anyone who isn't into that at this point isn't paying attention or is too young to remember what they used to be. Wow went down the shitter long ago and all their other IP has been in worse shape for longer. People really need to stop buying their shit.

Diablo 4 was looking great for a bit. Of course they aren't fixing some known bugs (resistance) in all the recent patches. The grind was looking OK but they just nerfed the hell out of XP, which probably doubles it's time and makes their "open world" completely useless. Don't worry though, they did approximately double the drop rate of trash as well. Yay!

Blizzard is getting really good at shooting themselves in the foot.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Eh, I remembered the disastrous launch of D3 saw the pricing, the micro transaction pushing and had no interest in giving them money.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That claim would have been true two years ago but WoW is actually great now. Dragonflight is arguably one of the best expansions they've ever released. Ask trade chat and DF will be in most people's top 3. They got rid of most (all?) of the predatory timesink crap. Rep grinds are for cosmetics ONLY, the new gearing system is casual friendly, and they've lifted a ton of obnoxious barriers with old content. Plus, they are rolling cross-faction everything. It's a good time to be a WoW player.

I was an OW fanatic so it's been weird to see my favorite game go down the drain while the game I quit makes an incredibly turnaround. They went in polar opposite directions with the two

Diablo 4 apparently is doing well and rather well reviewed too. Seems like their best title since StarCraft 2

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It was great until they started "balancing" it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Leave it to gamers to freak out over the first balancing patch. It was largely great, they just need to tweak still.

Blizzard is in the news right now because of several large business decisions they've made recently. It's not even just Reddit, they're in the actual news right now. I'm not sure what issue you take with that.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I sense the sarcasm in the title yet I find it to be accurate considering Diablo 4 is still new, OW2 has some controversy yet again, and Blizzard is part of Activision which is in the news a lot recently because of the Microsoft acquisition. Of course these things are going to be on the top of the front page; it's current, popular shit.

When you guys want to talk about how lemmy is better than reddit, remember this post. This is the content people here upvotes. It's just as bad and inane as reddit because people don't change!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Free Hong Kong and fuck blizzard and the ccp.

Taiwan #1!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

You want this to be astroturfing so so bad 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Literally who cares, why are you even on Reddit lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Oh wow, Overwatch 2 is now on steam? You should all go and play it now! What great news for us, fellow gamers!!
