One thing I noticed, even way back in the mid 1990s when I had bought and installed Warcraft II, is how incredibly stable and bug-free the game was, compared to other DOS or Windows games at that time. And that's still my impression today, having played a lot of Diablo II and a LOT of World Of Warcraft, and some Starcraft I, that there's a difference in programming quality, somehow, or subsequent testing. I've never been in a Blizzard beta, so maybe that's different, but when they release a game, it's my expectation that it'll be rock-stable.
So... Is there a trope for that?

I don't know, but I've noticed it too, especially when compared to game producers like Bethesda and Oblivion. Not only that, but Blizzard tends to release patches for years and years after a game's release; I think it stopped supporting the original Starcraft and Diablo II a -decade- after release.
Should the Blizzard creator page be amended to at least mention the current lawsuit and the alleged toxic culture the company? It's fairly severe, and even looking at the Overwatch tvtropes pages, I saw only a single off-hand reference to it regarding Mc Cree's rename, making it sound like it was just one bad apple.
