What principles are those? Honestly, I'm confused by the hate (I had the same problem with everyone who had to rant about how awful D2 was). Did Diablo cure cancer or something? Did I miss it back in the 90s, and cancer's only come back because Blizzard has evolved into something different?
Games are games, and they are a business. They are in the business of entertainment for money. Diablo 2 and WoW (and probably SC2, never played it) all provided entertainment for lots of people, and money for Blizzard. If you don't like them for whatever reason (story, gameplay, privacy, artwork, subscription, etc.) don't buy them. Don't play them.
I'm all for sticking to your principles. I'm just unclear as to this golden age where the original Blizzard employees worked for free or something...
