Blizzard announces there will be no Blizzcon in 2024

The only thing of moderate fun they have was Diablo 2 remastered and maybe War Within.

Overwatch 2, Hearthstone, and Diablo 4 all are objectively terrible.

What do they have to show for it?

SoD is good, but not much to showcase unless they plan on continuing SoD into expansions.

Dragonflight has been a joke in terms of content with many having issues with how content light 10.2 was and how boring and bland Amirdrassil was. Now we have a new season of nothing new and just more of the same? This is supposed to tide players over until September?

Plunderstorm is awful.

Mists Timerunning looks mediocre.

War Within looks promising, but that won't be until September at the earliest for a full proper release. So what would they showcase at Blizzcon? The first major patch?

There is nothing to show for this year.
 
Heroes of the Storm and Starcraft are dead. Overwatch is dying. Diablo is struggling. Odyssey was canceled. This is on top of Warzone Mobile debuting with 67% lower earnings than Call of Duty Mobile. Microsoft executives are probably not keen on the idea of spending a bunch of money on a convention to maybe show a D4 expansion, a new Hearthstone card pack, and celebrate a 20 year old game. Not after they spent $70 billion for this. The WoW team will have to come up with a different idea to celebrate the occasion.
 
Why does it feel like all these giant ass legacy gaming studios have all become bloated and incapable of creating anything great anymore?

This is the main reason. They cancelled that stupid survival game (thank god). War Within will likely be out just before Blizzcon would've taken place, their RTS division is dead and no one gives a shit about that Diablo 4 DLC.
 
lol MS is a frugal company. They are not going to host an expensive live event that probably cost tens of millions. The suits need that money for their sugar babies.

Asmongold has been coping hard about that lately. He went from smugly hand-waving criticism over the MTX "iTs JuSt ThE wAy It Is", to being all butt hurt over people not giving that shitty game another chance. You love to see it.
 
The silence as to why they're not holding the event in their four paragraph press release speaks volumes.

As it has felt for many years, I imagine, for a hardcore Blizzard fan, it's gotta suck being a fan. The company's just not the same.

Huh. I thought he was over Diablo 4 as well. I remember watching him essentially saying that the game can't be saved with the stuff that Blizzard are planning to do to it since really saving it would mean to torpedo their live-service model. Or something like that.

But makes sense, he somehow regularly ends up playing what he hates on, lmao.

Asmongold is so overrated with his 2.51 million subs. I don't get it.

That doesn't bode well for the D4 expansion due this year. Likely 2025 product now.
