Live Service games are Stores with a Showroom attached, in which you can show off your purchases to incite others into buying things as well. D4 for example as ARPG getting both a Cashshop and Open World isn't accidental or a game design choice/vision. Having no proper in game features for players to look for, find and group up with each other, it's basically just there so players with way cooler than ingame earnable MTX skins and mounts run past you now and then to remind you what you are missing out on by not visiting and buying from the store. That's it's purpose.

It's now been 1 year 58 days since I last spent any money on Blizzard products & I swear I've probably saved like £4,000 which is crazy compared to the days of buying a game for 20 bucks and playing it for 5 years.
It may be a parody, but it represents blizzard and its costumers fairly accurately. I stopped giving Blizzard money years ago, after they decided they made games only for profit and not also for fun.

Die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villian. It's really sad, Blizzard used to be the cool company that honestly cared, the slowly over years and years they turned into a monster till they gave up pretending to be nice and just ripped off the mask entirely.
"The most resilient consumers on the planet" I truly believe this. Some of my friends keep complaining about a lot of bugs in SoD, the connection uptime of the servers, the balance patches and the long queue times, but still put themselves through the same torture every day for €10,99/month. After a year of playing, they could have bought a copy of Baldur's Gate 3 and a single malt whiskey for the same money... I seriously don't understand why people still put up with Blizzard...
I don't understand why people praise Asmon for calling out Blizzard when he's gives Blizzard a decent chunk of $$$. Like how he spent 5k on Diablo Immortal. Which he says he recouped through the content he made on it. He's part of the problem when he's giving them 5k. He directly contributes to it. He's never wanted any of this p2w microtransaction crap to change and he's a huge hypocrite.
I don't understand why people put up with like 95% of the triple A industry. Stopped supporting most companies years ago and went to indie games. Didn't support $60 for 60% of a game, not about to support $70 for 60% of a game. Not going to buy lazy ass deving or quick $60-$70 cash grabs that a team or company doesn't stand behind and tries to make everyone forget in a month.

Nobody hated on baldur’s gate 3. That's outrage bait pushed by crappy TH-camrs trying to stir up controversy. If anything, most game devs have been happy at the success of BG3. Any negativity is from devs wary that a bunch of low-effort cash grab cRPGs are going to get produced in the wake of this success or others who understand that all the circumstances leading up to BG3's success could've very easily ended in a colossal failure.
@@brobette574 except the dev that said that BG3 was overdelivering and impossible to replicate. then had other devs in the comments echoing the same thing saying that every customer should never expect games to be at the level of bg3 because the studio was insane. not a single one of them mentioned crpg or cashgrabs. they all complained that bg3 was raising the bar and their AAA games would look like shit in comparison. frankly they were right, because AAA studios have been pumping out shit for decades and spent decades lowering the quality of their games slowly to condition people. larian and a few other studios have started to unravel their work and they don't like it. yes bg3 could have been a huge failure. but you know what, that's what made games in the past amazing. developers took huge risks and created gems of epic proportions.

Videos like this make me realize why I only buy a few games a year, if that. It isn't that I don't like games, it's that what used to be mainstream (complete products with no online live service requirements), is now "niche."

"We are very good at keeping people focused on the deep depression."

I would add Larian, they've been pretty consistent in making solid RPGs for the last decade at least, and CDPR after fixing Cyberpunk, the quality of their stories is unmatched.
This sort of tribalism is pathetic, no matter which tribe you join. I also like the popular fromsoft titles, but I would never call myself a fan of any studio. Especially as others pointed out, things can turn for the worse any time for any studio. So what's the point of the servile loyalism? Childish tribalism. You lack real personality and real identity so you pick up pathetic identities as [gamedev studio] fan, as a substitute. Grow up...
The demographics speak volumes to who the idoiots are that fuel the aggressive micro transaction culture we are in. The developers and primary consumers are generally the same herd.
Last p(l)ayed a blizz game back in tbc classic, and I had resolved to stop playing after tbc as early as tbc start, because lack of server maintenance caused my 8x 60+ characters to be stranded on a dead server, being expected 25€/character transfer for their negligence.

7:14 i can see the hope in her eyes.. 😕 but yes we all love metzen. I do wonder tho: Will he do this saga and then join Pixel Castle or will he stay at Blizzard?
The line "if you ain't broke why fix it" is so layered and hits it on the dot. If the consumers keep buying, and they haven't run out of money, why change what you're doing? Why not milk MORE out of it? I don't know why people still buy big company's games despite the company itself being morally terrible to its own workers, and the games being a disappointment every time. This goes from Todd Howard to Blizzard. The only answer is their great base games that propelled them into fame is copy and pasted and people stupidly keep buying the newest one. Call of Duty is a big example of this. Like... What did they even add for you to spend $150 every year + the newest console to play it?
Throw up some pictures of people with different skin colors. "We want our games to represent everyone! Now suck down our next expansion and buy our microtransactions, peasants."
The number one thing that pisses me off about Asmon. Is that he sits there and laughs at videos like this showing how corrupted and evil Activision/Blizzard are. But he still supports them and their horrible decisions every month with money and the sad thing is there are millions of people just like him.
We all get our fix from different things and we all have a dealer. Some dealers use guns, money laundering & aggression. Some use a desire for community, technological advances & awkward sarcasm. Choose your poison, choose your weapons.

the "is this an out of season April fool's day joke" was still the iconic one though, LMAO
The demographics speak volumes to who the idoiots are that fuel the aggressive micro transaction culture we are in. The developers and primary consumers are generally the same herd.
Last p(l)ayed a blizz game back in tbc classic, and I had resolved to stop playing after tbc as early as tbc start, because lack of server maintenance caused my 8x 60+ characters to be stranded on a dead server, being expected 25€/character transfer for their negligence.
When it ended he should have said " When leaving through the back doors please have your wallet open and ready for our automated donation machine " its basically a hoover.
This is why Mojang stopped doing real Minecon, they don't want to face their customers
Damn. I'm a total casual and didnt watch blizz-con. but the AI/Face swap tech is getting convincing. I thought this was real for a few minutes. 🤣🤣
2:50 SpearShot?
im never buying a blizzard product ever again
0:09 - I found the remaining fan applauding to be very creative and a good reflection of the current relationship between Blizzard and its consumers.
Master chiefs turn to ride the undead pony. Omg.
7:14 i can see the hope in her eyes.. 😕 but yes we all love metzen. I do wonder tho: Will he do this saga and then join Pixel Castle or will he stay at Blizzard?
This is absolutely golden lol
7:00 “It’s great to feel the energy in the room. You’re angry” Chad moment 🤣
Now THIS is a good use for AI lmfao.
The line "if you ain't broke why fix it" is so layered and hits it on the dot.
If the consumers keep buying, and they haven't run out of money, why change what you're doing? Why not milk MORE out of it?
I don't know why people still buy big company's games despite the company itself being morally terrible to its own workers, and the games being a disappointment every time.
This goes from Todd Howard to Blizzard.
The only answer is their great base games that propelled them into fame is copy and pasted and people stupidly keep buying the newest one.
Call of Duty is a big example of this. Like... What did they even add for you to spend $150 every year + the newest console to play it?
Throw up some pictures of people with different skin colors. "We want our games to represent everyone! Now suck down our next expansion and buy our microtransactions, peasants."
I found it hilarious that a warcraft rumble ad played before the video started playing
The number one thing that pisses me off about Asmon. Is that he sits there and laughs at videos like this showing how corrupted and evil Activision/Blizzard are. But he still supports them and their horrible decisions every month with money and the sad thing is there are millions of people just like him.
Jup... I don't get how so many don't see this... he's controlled opposition at this point. He WILL play wow anyway 😂
And he will spend 10k on diablo ect.
These HonestCon videos go hard from first second. Brutal, and so deserved.
These game companies just taking advantage of some peoples inability to control themselves. Lot of the stuff should be illegal.
How are they considered adults tho? ;-)
What’s crazy is if u just make a good game it will 100% make good profit,stop trying to appeal to the lesser group and appeal to majority votes.
Imagine having such a brainwashed crowd , that you can literally walk up to them and call them stupid and they still follow you.
That's Blizzard fans!
Why do i hear "It all makes cent" around 6:56? Haha.
Watching it for the first time it was funny af, watching it again after few days its sad af.
05:28 what is the name of music ?
The biggest roast 4:37
lol it’s so true, metzen just existing at blizzard sold so many copies of WoW when it’ll be the same thing you’ve been playing
Consumer coomers keep blizzard afloat
Asmon being #1.
We all get our fix from different things and we all have a dealer. Some dealers use guns, money laundering & aggression. Some use a desire for community, technological advances & awkward sarcasm. Choose your poison, choose your weapons.
