That archived thread actually has the initial discussion about why the OP didn't want any WoW talk:
>>11532879
>>The point of this thread is to discuss Blizzard's classic games, those which were released before an MMO (one of the most pppular and widely-discussed games ever made, no less) that completely changed their business dynamics and the culture of the company. Myself and several others agreed, before this gen was even made, that excluding WoW was the right move, and I stand by it.
I partially agree to some extent about WoW "changing (or ruining) everything", but there's two big things for me: The shift it caused happened well after its initial launch, and it wasn't the only Blizzard game to be so popular that it caused shifts. Starcraft, Warcraft III, Diablo 2, these were all big trendsetters and many genuinely view them like this thread's baity OP does: That they all "ruined vidya" in their own way.
