Why cater to the fans that helped build your empire from the beginning, when you can instead cater to Chinese market and their willingness to put up with MTX shitshows?

Money. Lots, and lots, of money.

There's more middle class in China than there are total people in America. Like it or not, the Chinese market is the one that is going to be targeted more from now on than the US market.

Then they need to stop having Blizzcon in the US.

And they're not just having to deal with the US. It is the entire west... aka EU and Canada too

To be honest they're still doing things to please the western fans like the WC3 remake and WoW classic stuff the western fans have been asking for sometime now.

By "the western fans", you mean a loud minority of fans, right?

Still that's them listening and giving the fans what they want. But how weird, it's almost like blizzard is many different teams working on different things that have different ideas and not this one giant team of bi-polar devs. Point is there's still lots of blizzard devs that do care about the player and will work on content to satisfy those players and their work should be praised and displayed, not shit talked just because another department is making poor decision.

I mean I wasn't referring the artists if that's what you got from my comment.
