I think that the problem lies at the highest level of management, with guys like Bobby "take the fun out of making games" Kotick running the show. Imo the new cast of devs are talented, hard-working and smart, but there is little they can do when the big bosses demand profitability before anything else. Had D2, WC2 or SC1 been made with that philosophy, they would hardly have become the all-times classics that they are today. In other words, I think that the problem are not the devs, but the company, and more specifically, Activi$ion.
