This, by now though most people can read between the lines and see when they spew BS. The leadership must have huge egos or the Activision handlers really have them on a leash.
I want to spend time in the world they create but so many of the choices they make just blow my mind. I was on D1 quite a lot chasing those perfect gear rolls and that's what drove me to play. D2 on the other hand? I hardly touch that game at all anymore.
Thankfully I have a lot of time on my hands to play (disabled) so I go through content like it's nothing. The game is so catered to casuals, it's pretty clear that the company just wants to make as much cash as possible. This is what they end up churning out when it's all about profit, a watered down product that looks and plays good but has no substance.
They are so cheeky with their responses and those of us that can tell will keep calling them out on it.
Do they have talented people? Of course they do, nobody's saying otherwise. It's just so obvious that the company is only after one thing... and if people say that that's what companies are supposed to do then those people are completely missing the point.
This hobby is quickly going down the drain little by little. Sure gaming is being profitable... but not for the right reasons. Nintendo is still hanging on to that old school feeling but we can all see beginning of the "Profit above all else" dance. I wonder how gaming will look like in another 10 years.

Well written . I had this conversation with a friend of mine the other day. Those of us who were lucky enough to game through early Atari up until roughly now , have seen and played through the glory days of gaming . Games these days are built around micro transactions, rng , and poker machine mechanics. A certain magical touch is missing , not just in d2 ,but nearly all new games . I honestly feel sorry for today’s young gamers

Same here been gaming since you needed a screw driver to hook your system up. Activision believe or not came to be for exactly all the reasons they now practice. Greed above all else. Sad really and very hypocritical
