Moved from D1 forum

[--Pete]

Hi,

Did I miss something?

Yes.

Now, Humor me here, because I'm making an assumption that this is what started the fracas, and I'm trying to understand.

You missed the point entirely. I took objection to:

Thats cause Blizz is a corporation that only cares about making a profit, everything else be damned. Capitalism for the loss.

I gave my reasons and my opinions in the reply to that post. This thread is the continuation of that exchange, which has little or nothing to do with Diablo (one, two, or three), Blizzard, Condor, etc. and everything to do with political and economic theories. Hence, slightly appropriate for this snake pit but not at all for the D1 forum.

The original topic was lost in the exchange, and your post addresses that original topic and not this side issue. Your post is more appropriate for the original thread in the D1 forum.

Oh, and just to continue an off topic conversation on an off topic spin off thread: I suspect why Blizzard is dropping D1 support has more to do with the difficulty of keeping b.net secure and yet compatible with D1 than it does with any financial considerations. But that's just a WAG, with a value somewhere between pristine and used toilet paper.

Hi,

Because, the Marxist movements over the past millennium have been so bloodless?

Over about 85% of the past millennium, not only has the Marxist movement been bloodless, it's been non-existent.

BTW, great big major changes might be better as new posts than as edits to old posts -- otherwise, it becomes very hard to follow the conversation.
