How the fuck is it that Blizzard has a perfect track record of making genre defining games?

How the fuck is it that Blizzard has a perfect track record of making genre defining games?

I'd say it's because you've been in a cryo chamber.

Marketing is one helluva drug. I bet they hired sfm animators to make porn and get people to buy the game that way.

Plus they advertised for months on leddit.

>How the fuck is it that Blizzard has a perfect track record of marketing genre casualizing games?

Ftfy

Marketing

I only bought Overshit because my friend wanted it.

It's not a bad game, but it certainly isn't very good.

I'm glad i only paid 30 ameribux for it

this is how i ended up with diablo 3
still makes my ass hurt that i bought that piece of shit

>genre defining games

please overwatch is overrated garbage for children

>genre defining games
>TF2 existed almost a decade ago

damn nigga

>already over 5 posts
>still no porn
Is this an overwatch thread record?

>overwatch
>genre defining
And what genre is that?

Arcady pleb shooter?

>HotS
>Overwatch
>genre-defining
>as you start the thread with the same fucking shill image
shiggy

Nice try OP, but Sup Forums is too delusional to see the objective truth, they just parrot old memes to feel like they won.
Case in point: every post in this thread

thats a big SUCCess

>make some decent looking girl characters
>watch as waifufaggots buy by the millions
It's simple, yet effective

DON'T DO IT, Blizzard must be making these threads to find and kill such!

Money.
They made some hits, made loads of money and therefore could produce better, bigger games, and pay for better marketing of said games.

Money is always the key.

So much this
>mfw we have entered the age of waifuism
>amid the age of political correctness
Oh shit, this will be a bloodbath

PC is on its way out man, everyone is wising up to their shit.

>Implying OW is defining anything.
please this game is a joke. It's a shooter where you don't even have to know how to aim to win. baby tier garbage. Like all games from neo-blizzard.

They won't go without a fight though.
Why should they, they accumulated enough money (ad influence) through trustfunds and hipster welfare, there is no way, they won't fight tooth and nail against irrelevance.

Best thing that can happen is they activate their mainstream media buddies and drag them along into showing off what a joke they have become.

not quickly enough

>people acting like Blizzard didn't order takedowns of that porn shit just to get in the headlines
How do people not see obvious marketing at this point?

they don't explore new genre's until they know they can perfect it

They wait 15 years to make them, hype them up all the way and have millions of mindless drones to market, hype and defend every single aspect of their games like you

Listening to their player base, great developers, and secretly leaking porn of their in-game models as an indirect form of marketing.

>genre defining games

More like coming to the party 5 years late and unreasonable neckbeard hype, usually due to fantasy characters in skintight suits/armor bikinis

They make good games but they play it safe, don't think these people are "innovators"

Only got big after shitaku made it an issue.

With a lot of marketing and shills such as yourself

>overwatch
>hearthstone
>heroes of the storm
>genre defining in any way
You're a special kind of idiot.

Source please

You could have just said "their marketing team".

>genre defining

I mean, they're good, but shit, man, we'd been doing class-based/character ability-based shooters for years.

You're posting memes unironically.

Your input is invalid and not wanted.

every one of their games has be made by taking the most popular game in a genre, casualizing it, then making 10 gorillion dollars. Except for maybe Diablo. I dont remember any games like diablo being huge before diablo came out.

Kill yourself.

Yes that's exactly what I said. The ordered it knowing one of those shit gaming journalism sites would notice it and write an article about it.

Unrelated post, but did anything happen after that stick Hiroshimoot made yesterday? I just woke up and it's gone but Sup Forums looks the same.

Me too, fuck.

Marketing teams are counted by hundreds at most, an all require a salary. Blizzdrones are millions and they not only work for free, but eagerly await the chance to give Blizzard money so there's a huge difference

No, i'm posting memes post-ironically

also ironic memeing is what killed old Sup Forums, you know that right?

>How the fuck is it that Blizzard has a perfect track record?

They run on a minimal risk policy.
All Blizzard games are just an exercise in extreme polishing, cuttting fat and marketing, They take something proven, tighten it to the max, then release it and push it.
You can see that when Blizzard tries to be original and push it's own ideas it usually falls flat on its face (eg. d3 auction house)
The only truly innovative thing they did was starcraft as it really introduced new elements to RTS no one had thought before and everyone copied them.

>really introduced new elements to RTS no one had thought before

Incorrect, those features where just critically panned by the hardcore fanbase of rts

It took an army of blizzard fanboys and advertising dollars for starcraft to have the reputation is has now

>Incorrect, those features where just critically panned by the hardcore fanbase of rts

In other games that is, I realize i didn't exactly finish my sentence there

Name one genre defining game they've made in the last 10 years

>Perfect track record
Warcraft 1 didn't define shit.
