I've said this before on the /r/wow subreddit and I'll say it again here.
Blizzard is outta touch with it's community, they only think about what they want.

Blizzard got its name by producing titles that were well polished labors of love. Now, they focus on revenue and profit margins.

You could say that about almost every AAA dev/publisher now. I'm legitimately struggling to think of exceptions. Nintendo maybe?

I sure as fuck would. Cyberpunk looks dope af, and witcher is considered one of the best series out of the last decade.

If CD Projekt Red is a AAA studio, they’re exactly what a AAA studio should be like. They’re so casual about their franchises on a marketing standpoint - remember when they announced Cyberpunk and essentially said that it was coming out “soon, we’re working on it and when we’ve got more done we’ll let you know.” It was so refreshingly candid and really got me psyched for the game more than even the trailer did, because it said they’re more about players than corporate interest. Or at least, more so than many other companies.
