In a time where it seems like everything is "Better With Kinect" (extremely questionable) it's kind of nice to see a game that says hey...we know you just want to play with a controller and that's what this game is about.
@Repopulation - WoW didn't do that much for MMO's...look at the subscriber bases for its competitors. Not that much bigger than they would have been, pre-WoW. World of Warcraft did a lot for Activision/Blizzard, not so much for the genre (other than forcing developers to make their games more "like WoW" to compete). I played from open beta through the end of Wrath of the Lich King, and finally had enough...quit and I've been clean and sober with no desire whatsoever to go back. This Pandaren expansion only further solidified that opinion, I consider this expansion to be WoW "jumping the shark" and it doesn't really matter how many expansions down the road they plan now, they'd probably better be thinking "free to play" as part of that equation.
They won't be putting anyone out of business. Nobody is going to go to a site for ONLY Activision news, why wouldn't they just go to one of the many news culling sites or blogs like Joystiq, where they can get info on more than just one company's games? It's foolhardy.
@Intangible 360 Amen to that...no way would I ever go back to this game. This expansion is definitely nuking the fridge, though - if I had been on the fence, this would have put me solidly in the "screw that" camp.
Blizzard has said they are working on a "Diablo game" for consoles - they have never said it was a port of Diablo 3. I would put my money on a completely separate game in the Diablo universe, for consoles.
