From my experience, enjoyment of the worlds of Blizzard games comes in a spectrum:
Overwatch: Because the developers refused to elaborate further with the lore on account of corporate greed and mismanagement, everything is up to speculation and you can basically do whatever you want with these settings and characters.
World of Warcraft: Please, god, stop elaborating.
#Blizzard Entertainment#World of Warcraft#Overwatch#Overwatch 2#Actiblizz#now when I say 'enjoyment' I mostly mean I go 'my city now'#and play the games without paying them a cent in whatever way I can (at least in the case of WoW thanks to emulation)#while reading auxilliary lore through wikis and such#(and Overwatch I just stopped playing at all back in 2023 and I don't regret it)#I admit I don't know from personal experience what the hell is going on with Starcraft or Diablo#but I assume they still follow the same axis/spectrum#considering Starcraft has not officially had a game in like 10 years?#and Diablo IV and Diablo Immortal are...Diablo IV and Diablo Immortal.#this post was brought to you by me going 'I really want to make some WoW OC fan content or AUs or something'#and then deciding to brush up on my lore#and then Immediately Regretting It#far as I'm concerned the story stops after Cataclysm#*maybe* Legion but Legion is on thin fucking ice because they did Vol'jin so dirty#not to mention that all the inconsistent shit with Garrosh and Sylvanas?#is because two of Blizz's most notorious sex perverts were having a dickwaving contest#and then basically massacring each other's blorbo in the process of said dickwaving#like is Metzen a perfect writer? no. he's very simplistic. was his shit still better than what we got? A VERY EMPHATIC YES.#croak.txt#reblog.wank
