well if anything good comes from AI maybe it will be a resurgence of unions.

Working for a billion dollar company is the only reason you need here. There are far more of course but that should be enough reason.

The cinematics are probably the most valuable asset Blizzard still has.

Their games went downhill, but god the animations are gorgeous. I forced myself to complete the Diablo 4 campaign because of them.

That would be a lot easier now. The game improved enormously around season 4 I think. Whatever the Loot Reborn season was. And nearly every season has included some QoL improvements.

I honestly love Diablo 4. It’s a great podcast/audiobook companion.
