Well, by saying that Blizzard doesn't have any "fanboys", I meant the kind that blindly follows and defends a company without really looking at it critically.
That is the exact description of a Blizzard fanboy. Just look at all the stupid conventions they hold, which the main purpose is to glorify themselves. People dress up like idiots, and pratically memorize obscure Blizzard stuff. That is the definition of a fanboy.
Blizzard games aren't a passing fad, and they didn't gain their reputation from building on just hype
They will be soon. Blizzard games most certainly do build up on hype. Look at Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3. More hype than you can possibly imagine. I'm betting that these games will be disappointment, and that Blizzard will fade away.
Another reason that Blizzard games are stupid is that they refuse to try anything new. They claim that is "disrupts" the "feel" of the game. Look at Galciv. Galciv 2 had major changes from Galciv 1, and it was just as good, and a whole lot better. Since Blizzard won't change anything, people are eventually going to say, "Okay I'm sick of these games being copies of each other with so-called 'better' graphics, so I'm gonna play something else."
Companies
need to try something new, or the game will probably not be as popular. Look at the old Rollercoaster Tycoon games. RCT2 was a big disappointment because it was exactly like RCT1 will no major changes, which is the same scenario as Starcraft 1 and Starcraft 2. But then, major changes were made to RCT3, and it was a major hit. Bottom line, new ideas are good.
