What you fail to understand that Blizzard just sold you a Diablo 3 virtual copy + 12 months of free wow game time for 100 bucks. Since World of Warcraft is in decline, now they got more WoW users (potentially increasing the purchases of Mists of Pandarai, since now 6 million people have 12 months of WoW game time). They didn't lose anything, they only gained increased sales in a declning game, a new game and potentially newly released explansion set. Do you honestly believe Blizzard, business wise cares if people play Diablo 3 for 3 months and quit? All they need to do is to release the next expansion and at least half of those people will return by purchasing the expansion set for D3.

They should care.
Also 3 months Is pushing it, I doubt most diablo 3 players managed 3 weeks. |

Because its fake, a scheme to keep players interested in their company and their games. |

Originally posted by Dragonantis I'm fairly sure that it is real, my money would be on them trying to decide several key strategies, and probably waiting to see how the RMAH works out for them on Diablo 3 and whether they can implement something similar into a real MMO. |

WoW is still very profitable and well-established. They probably wait until the population has declined somewhat more.

Not sure how no one has leaked anything about this game. We had stealth bomber/fighter leaks faster than this. So how is that no one has been able to sneak anything out ... no disgruntled employees . where are you at?
How many delicate flowers have you met in Counterstrike? I'm not your friend. I got a case of beer and a chainsaw waiting for me at home after work. |

titan is planned for the end of 2014, so it will most likely be releaed somewhere in 2015. so, why should we hear about it now?
so we can hype it till it reaches a status that can't be reached? "I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up! Not me!" |

Originally posted by dustyhayes Yeah, 7+ million sold and a 88 aggregate score is not something to aspire too. Oh, you mean user reviews? Yeah, doesn't really affect the bottom line, does it. |

Because critic reviews are to be trusted?
Lol look at swtor never mind d3. Fact is blizzard pissed a lot of people off with d3. Which probably explains why mop hasn't quite sold as well as they hoped. And why they arent going into hype mode over Titan, they need to let the backlash for down. |

Originally posted by william0532 Blizzard never released anything even partially sandboxy and never released anything that is not mainstream - so I can even bet some money that it won't be sandbox. Of course they may put some few very simple sanboxy-similar features maybe but that's max. They definately won't release sandbox. |

Originally posted by ShakyMo yea, right, hard not to piss off anyone when the whole world is waiting for your game. pure statistics, but i guess that's something most in here will never understand.
next statistic: torchlight 2 selling for 20 bucks. 50k players on steam, we do the math, d3 won ^^ "I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up! Not me!" |

Than so you don't think
Buying a single player game and Being presented with "error 37" every fucking time you wanted to play your game didn't piss people off. then when you got in it was a shallow money grabbing shadow of its former versions, a grubby little attempt to maximize rmah earning potential first, with game play second. Glad you brought up Torchlight 2 though. It's at least twice the game Dublin 3 claims to be, because its coded to be a fun game first, not a friggin on going cash cow. Lots of people bought Dan brown books, tickets to Michael bay films and records from the xfactor, doesn't mean they arent shite. |

If I was Blizzard, I wouldn't say anything about the game. I would just keep developing and polish. Push out a beta test and then release the game. I wouldn't even put up a "Titan" webpage (Titan is just a production title BTW...I would expect them to announce a real title for it at next Blizz-Con.) They still get criticized over hero classes for a game that they have sold millions of copies of like 8 years later. They don't need hype.

Yeah, I also find it kinda odd that they haven't released any information at all about Titan. Could be several reasons, it wouldn't be the first project, either game or movie, that has landed in development hell. However, Blizzard can afford to extend the number of years it stays in development.

Some companies leave things to the last minute. Rockstar and valve don't hype really, they just release a demo a couple of weeks before launch. TESO us another good example mmo wise they only announced a few months back, but its launching early next year (but it had been in development 4 or 5 years beforehand), sometimes less is more.

My wild guess is that Titan is a multiplatform MMO campatible with the next generation of consoles. I hope it's PC only but I think Blizzard wants in on the huge console market. They've hinted at porting Diablo 3 to consoles, my guess is that it's to pave the way for a console MMO.

Most mmo's are 3 years hidden before you even see a screenshot. Don't take it too personal that a game is under wraps thats just the norm.

Originally posted by TalonsWing Blizzard knows MMO gamers and their information release cadence will more than likely avoid the blunders that others have made in the past. Anything they say this early will be subject to both wild speculation and the prophecies of the doom crowd. They're more than likely waiting until they have something solid enough to follow up with, as a barrage of questions will be inevitable no matter what they put out. I also would put money on the fact that what they see good and bad in GW2 will affect some of their design decisions over the next couple months. filmoret: One thing I have never figured out is why the game devs hardly ever fix simple problems that arise. It is like they don't care about the pvp community. Nitth: What makes you so sure its a simple fix? filmoret: Because most of them are. Sometimes its just changing a number in a code string other times its creating a few variables. However none of them should take over a few hours of coding. |
