This explains a lot of what is going on with Blizzard and why we are seeing things like Diablo immortal and why some of the weird things in HotS are taking place.
Anyone have anything to add? This is seriously concerning.

Its becoming more apparent with the removal of stimpacks a blizzard icon. Now replaced with a generic boost that looks like a dollar sign

I noticed that, and wondered about that, but this, this explains a lot. Activision is going to devour blizzard and take it’s IP for its own. Can you imagine the amount of milking they can do with StarCraft, Warcraft, and other IPs? I mean hell, this may be a little overboard but some of Blizzards IPs can even almost rival Starwars.
This is damn concerning. VERY concerning and all the more reason to hate and despise activision.

True, but it is interesting that they made them effect other players.

It’s like giving vampires a drop of your blood. It awakens those capable to bite for more.

I knew it was the beginning of the end when I saw CoD and Destiny 2 added and glowing in the Battlenet launcher, like the light at the end of the tunnel.

Trump and team are going to shut down so much criminality that their extension companies like Vivendi’s Blizzard are squeezing as hard as they can while they can. They’re trying to stash all the money away somewhere and dodge the storm.
WOw, I’m watching this video now and IT COMPLETELY PROVES HOW OUT OF TOUCH THE FANBOIS ARE!!!

Finally got a solid whistle blower.
I wonder if anybody short sold on the stock knowing the announcement would be a trainwreck.
EA, step aside! The road to Activision!
I remember a while back i was getting down voted to oblivion for blaming Activision for hot’s development decisions. With replies mostly saying that Blizzard is independent.
For me these decisions haven’t made sense in a while now unless they were made by someone who doesn’t really understand these games and the players. I just didn’t see Blizzard being behind the decisions.

Oh I’m up to date on the happenings. I hadn’t figured they’d plan such a slow rolling crash. Makes sense that they wouldn’t talk about major projects and knowingly jerk all their fans with a Diablo Immortal announcement. They even made a spoof on mobile games as an april fools joke in the past.
I think you are misunderstanding I am not saying they themselves (blizzard and activision) are part of it. just that they are Showing symptoms of it. Its possible their higher ups have their fingers in the new world order gig, but most of the rest (the lower staff, you know, the people that actually do the work) of both companies and a lot for the other big multibillion dollar companies aren’t.
The drop in stocks really are not going to hurt the big wigs, Its only going to effect the small guys. Which is the purpose. To get the groundlings stirred up so they can then point the finger at trump and say “he did it, go get him!!!”
ooorrrrrrr and hear me out…
the happenings of a video game company have nothing whatsoever to do with the president of a country. Or have any political association whatsoever…
why is everything dragged back to the same thing now a days?

They’re owned by Vivendi. Bit o diggin’ shows a lot.
My comment is on the market, Did you not read? I am not saying they are, I am saying their stock is dropping in relation to the globalist trying to crash the system.
How you got that I was saying they Blizzard or activation was doing it all IDK? Activisions stock and blizzard stock are not the only ones crashing. This goes far beyond gaming or blizzard and activavision. Blizzard and activavision are small fish in the grand scheme of the things going on right now.
The main topic of the thread though is that there has been a lot of funny crap going on Blizzard, and it seems it is because Activision is setting up a hostile take over.
was talking about this mostly… no need to get all defensive there fenix. guess I should have just quoted it originally so that people didn’t start assuming to know what I was talking about, my bad.
although your comment on the market is borderline paranoid… since ive already taken the time to start writing something.

It’s the truth though. Look at PG&E right now.
I mean there is half a state on fire… they are in a bit of a special situation right now and I don’t think we can use them as an example of anything at the moment.

That video’s kinda fake news, though.
Some comments on the youtube page elaborate more, but it boils down to:
-
The video claims “Blizzard co-founder” talks about the subject, but it shows David Brevik, who’s not a Blizzard co-founder and hasn’t been in Blizzard for well over a decade.
-
In the original stream that the Brevik clips are taken from, Brevik starts that rant by saying he has no official data or source to support what he’s saying, just “strong suspicions”.
If anything, that IGN article mentioned at the begining of the video is trying to clarify that Blizz employees aren’t getting screwed over like Brevik suspected, 'cause they no longer receive that bonus, but it wasn’t just taken away with nothing in return.
I’d just like to mention that I didn’t see the whole video, though.
I don’t like the way it’s presented and didn’t want to give the channel more watch minutes (or whatever metric Youtube uses nowadays), so it’s possible I missed something.
