We couldn't get rid of it quickly |
As Wilson stated, Blizzard's strategy to overcome this issue with Diablo 3 was to take the control of the trading market. This may also be one of the reasons behind the game's requirement for an ever-online internet connection. Wilson states that when you make an offer to an offline client hackers "got the game." This is why you must be always on the internet and the auction house were Blizzard's failed attempts to control the problems that came from Diablo 2.
In the short time following its release in 2012 the auction house in Diablo 3 was seen as one of its biggest flaws getting a constant mocking and criticism by the players. But removing it wasn't simple in the least, not due to technical headaches. The reason for its sluggish 2014 removal was because the auction house was a scheduled element of the game that was printed on all of its retail boxes There were also legal issues with cutting it.
"The reason we couldn't get rid of it quickly when we realized that it was a problem was legally we didn't think we could, because it was advertised on the packaging," said Wilson. "So we took a long time to figure out the legal aspects before we finally said 'OK, we think it's worth trying should we be the subject of an action, but it's not that bad.'"
It's funny that when it had been said and done, Wilson says the auction house didn't make Blizzard all that much money In fact, If it had made more than 10 or 15 million dollars, the designer would feel "surprised." While this might sound like a lot in reality, that former Diablo 3 designer countered that World of Warcraft makes that kind of money every few hours or that's about it. Another developer in the room joked that, like usual there's a reason why you "always take the responsibility of lawyers." This is why the people didn't like it and it did not make a lot of revenue. A complete waste of time for everyone who was involved!
