100% agree to all that. But I think every game being released is considered disappointing at this point. I'm trying to hold off judgement until PvE comes out ... hopefully this lifetime.
Anyways my quote is "enjoy playing", and sounds like we both fall into that category. The game engine and polish with the original is often overlooked IMO.

Amazing IP! The loud minority hates every new game/expansion with a passion everything, but the majority of people I talked to enjoy playing overwatch 2, enjoy the new wow expansion, and most importantly we'd all (begrudgingly) buy any new warcraft/starcraft/diablo/overwatch game.
Factor in stop lights and other holdups, sounds like a good estimate to me.
Now let us be generous and say 15min, thats still an extra 30min thus TulliusCicero's point still stands.
> good developers being those that apply well-known and established (backend) practices to the frontend
100% agree with this. From my experience good front end developers are much harder to come by in silicon valley. We use a general coding interview process, and really struggle finding experienced front end developers because its a hard position.
When I have to touch javascript, I break everything, beg for help, then run back into my enterprise java code. This elitist backend attitude to me seems to stem from insecurities of us nerds. I personally feel inferior to front end developers, the ones I know are freaking magicians.
