Are you sure they weren't "trolling" or something? If it's legitimate, then it would still be a bad move since then those...people speak bad about Blizzard instead of "BNET". Google didn't give any results for "BNET FIX UR GAME" by the way  | ||

The German WoW page reporting "Blizzard Tech" as a proper name is very unusual, because other versions of the report say "We'll just be referring to our various products and services using the Blizzard name instead." You shouldn't expect to log into the Blizzard Tech servers, or using the Blizzard Tech Launcher, that's not how it's going to be presented. | ||

Either it's a mistake or they accidentally "spilled" (not that it's of any importance) it. | ||

I feel like they're a shade of their former self. I don't know if Activision influence is somehow the problem, but something major has definitely changed over the years. | ||

These guys are responsible for Warcraft, Warcraft 2 (Tides of War or something epic), Warcraft 3, Brood War, SC2, DIABLO (possibly one of the best single-player experiences in gaming history).

I actually was very resistant to change back then too, I wanted to keep using single executables that launched a game, not download some "steam" thing. But of course, steam is great so maybe this will be too. The old name is great but I could care less in the end as long as the product is still good. We all know that a name change is only the beginning, as long as whatever new platform they roll out is godlike them I'm fine with whatever they call it. | ||

It's already out: that's what the Blizzard Launcher is. | ||

That just ain't true. However, they are definitely not dotting every "i" and crossing every "t" the way they did when they pumped out 1 game at a time. a lot of their work is still excellent, As they start mass producing games they drop the ball in small ways in areas they are not laser focused. For example, Blizzard's support of the OW console product is mediocre. And considering it is a multiplayer only game. That's bad. | ||
