yeah, just to set the story straight, the way i understand it is, these guys, former blizzard north, were part of the original Diablo and D2 teams and were in the process of making D3 exactly the way that true Diablo fans would want it, but the main blizzard said "hey, we want it this way" (meaning more like wow, imo) and Blizzard north said "nay", therefore Blizz shutdown Blizz north and half the devs left to form flagship, and the other half left north and joined blizzard. Am i right?

I'm glad they left Blizzard though... I don't want people that stupid working on Diablo 3
Obviously people who have the ambition to make their own game and pursuit what they like are all stupid, while kissing blizz's ass and worshiping them as god is not.

ya they are from blizz north, at least keith lee is I believe.
Their company name reminds me of that video from ~4 years ago of the black dude that pulled his bawlz from the posterior of a woman, and yelled "BOOYAH!"

Lol, even though I don't play WOW, I'm sick of
["hardcore"] diablo fans saying that WOW is the definition of a crappy game...
It doesn't look so "cartoony" like WOW, it's just in 3-d, and has a small "feel" of WOW mixed in it. It's graphics are very different...
also a lot of good ideas come from the game. D3 looks so fricking good that Wow will loose half of it's customers.. (including the fact that a big number of the D1, and D2 fans moved to Wow).
You only mock a game, if it has something to mock, like a bad mechanic, a crappy story, it has loads of glitches. But you don't blow off a whole game just because.......

Nope. 110% wrong. For starters, only 3 Blizzard North people of the over 50 with credits on Diablo II currently work in Irvine. And everything else in your post is total speculation which you won't find a single link to back up - and is actually contradicted by what we have read by people who were there, like Mike Huang who wrote a little bit about it on his blog. You somehow also managed to get another 3 or 4 things wrong in that post, which is impressive.

around 17.4 million iPhones sold to date, not a bad move for a few nerds who are getting free publicity because they are ex-blzzard staff.
honestly maybe their company wont make as much as blizzard but they can easily make more money individually.
plus, i don't own an Iphone but if they made an online game same style as diablo (or as close as possible without getting a lawsuit) for Iphones (which is possible) i woul;d consider buying it.
so not a bad move
who knows, first Iphone then the android then who knows
lol i cant see the iphone having a good game like that
but maybe if they made their own version of something like an iphone meant more for gaming
and made it more control friendly i think thatd be awesome
blizzard really doesnt make a lot of money btw if they just got bought last year xD
but they did get bought by a bigger company =3
which i dont know what they spending that money on to begin with probaly go to the strip clubs every day xD
or just upgrade their tools so they can continue to make the best games
either way blizzard is a small company
their games are just so good you couldnt believe it
so if their goal is to make a fun game for iphone to make more money than they may have in blizzard or just to make money to begin with i think they would have enough talent to pull it off

Working for blizzard might be a hell hole, for all we know..
I sure hope not, because I hope to work there in my lifetime.
Maybe they wanted to try something new. Or they wanted more money; they are probably getting plenty..I might get an iphone soon (not because of that, but because it is a really cool phone) the only problem is, is that there isn't any insurance because people unlock it and sell it in Israel, and Russia..
I thought they made a partnership, they weren't bought??? were they??
Also, the iphone is amazing for a phone..

Sorry, I've just had to beat that story down so many times here and on other forums. The thread almost always gets shut, maybe the truth is too depressing for some fanboys.
