The last good game we'll ever see from a top notch studio is Hearthstone. Small team left to their own devices, then it got ruined by the execs that came in a year later.
Here I go with conspiracy again, but it truly feels like they aren't even interested in money. All the corporate shit that happens to games which people claim is "all for the money" drastically reduce profits.
You can see how they might try it out on a couple of titles considering the FIFA football model, but it clearly isn't working. Now it seems like more of a macro game they are playing where the only choice of game you get either manipulates your psychology into being a a little bitch (*cough* league of legends report system *cough*) or requires insane amounts of money to beat people for shallow victorys, which is essentially also being a little bitch.
