<p>So Blizzard is supposed to make a game that's fun specifically for a subset of players who think WoW died in 2010?<p>I hate to break it to you, but WoW is still the most played MMO on the planet, even after 20 years.<p>So it would seem like the MMO playerbase on the whole would disagree with you.</p>

<p>I'd argue clean engineering principles (gang of 4 patterns) and clean code are not the same, and are most definitely not mutually exclusive.</p>

<p>Applause.<p>I am in .net as well. The clean code virus runs rampant.<p>Swimming in DTOs and ViewModels that are exact copies of Models; services that have two methods in them: a command method and then the actual command the command method calls, when the calling class already has access to the data the command method is executing; 3 layers of generic abstractions that ultimately boil down to a 3 method class.<p>Debugging anything is a nightmare with all the jumps through all the different classes. Hell, just learning the code base was a nightmare.<p>Now I'm balls deep in a warehouse migration, which means rewriting the ETL to accommodate both systems until we flip the switch. And the people who originally wrote the ETL apparently didn't read the documentation for any of it.</p>

<p>Except fast is an adjective when describing food...<p>Just because the phrase is used colloquially to describe a specific group of restaurants doesn't change the fact the phrase "fast food" is comprised of two words, one being a noun; the other an adjective.<p>Fast greasy food.

<p>No, government subsidies to for-profit healthcare is the problem.<p>As with every other subsidized sector, they balloon the price when there is an unlimited supply of funding to pay for it.<p>As opposed to a consumer focused sector where the prices are dictated by what the consumer can afford.</p>
