Blizzard Helping People That Pre-Ordered Diablo III From GAME

[ShamisOMally]

From what I am hearing as "Inside" information, this is coming out of Blizzard's CEO's pocket directly, Bobby Kotick basically told the people fucked over by game to "Eat shit" and buy another copy

DESPITE Activision, Blizzard is a great company.

The first game I ever bought was in 1991. It was Populous II. I paid $50 for it. I don't like paying $60 any more then yall. But its not that bad. Its not like we were buying new games for $20 10 years ago.

I don't doubt that.

Kotick can go to hell.

That's awfully nice of them.

Now on the other hand, what's to stop someone from opening a company, selling a ton of preorders, having the company pay yourself an obscene amount of money as an employee, then having the company file for bankruptcy.

nothing and it happens ALL THE TIME
there is list of CEOs the make a living driving companies in the ground like that
google Lisa Hook lol

Wouldn't surprise me

I still wished Blizzard had nothing to do with Activision at all.

I hope GAME uses good quality receipts, I swear gamestop receipts self destruct after 30 days. Turns into a blank piece of paper unless handled like the Declaration of Independance.

Pretty much all thermal printing does that sadly, one more reason why paper shit never worked. When I do taxes at the end of the year I can barely read half my reciepts. And all they were doing was sitting in a box.

That was classy of Blizzard. They didn't have to do that, it's not their fault the thing went out of business.

Well played Blizzard. I commend you for your excellent customer service.

Populous was Bullfrog (Peter Molyneux), not Blizzard. Blizzard's first successful game was Warcraft. They had a couple released before that I have never heard of. I did play Lost Vikings, which they released under their previous name Silicon & Synapse.

And back then most games topped out at $39.99. I worked at Computer City in the low 90's (Comp USA competitor if you don't remember) and I don't recall any game selling for as high as $50. Most of them would be set at $39 and on sale for $34.99 pretty regularly.

I guess if you lived in Canada it could have been $50.
