Because the topic states the drop over the past month and OP said nothing about BlizzCon. =)

You obviously didn’t catch the original edit of the post.
Agreed, I may not, but the forum does not show the ‘post was edited’ icon on the OP’s post.

You can always have Android running on your pc and play Diablo.
(It’s a joke guys.)

Whats going on?
I blame poor education.
If you follow the market trend past 1 month you will notice the stocks increase and decrease every other month.
Just google
NASDAQ: ATVI
And look at the 6 month trend.

Stocks go down a lot in October no matter what. It happens every year. Doesn’t mean anything.

October stock changes wouldn’t have had anything to do with Blizzcon lol. Maybe the most recent single day change, and that’s definitely because of Diablo.
If you look at things other than just Blizzard, stocks are falling across the board! Everything is lower now because of the trade war going on between U.S. and China as well as Brexit. Pretty bad stuff all around and Blizzard isn’t the only thing suffering.
Activision makes COD, and COD BO4 wasn’t as successful as investors wanted, which drove shares prices down. It still made half a billion dollars, but apparently that’s not good enough nowadays…
And if Activision suffers, so does Blizzard, as they technically operate as one company.

Nope. It’s Black Ops 4 to blame. And it should be. That game is awful. You can tell Activision forced Treyarch to work fast. The end result of BO4 was a rushed buggy mess.

As pointed out above, COD4 was not as big a hit as expected, which probably had about 400% more impact on stocks than Diablo did.

Ouch. That is quite the significant drop. It’s difficult to really determine the meaning behind trends like this, but with such a significant shift it could easily be indicative of the current perceived direction the company is going after what was displayed at BlizzCon.
Not to mention that several high profile card games have been released lately, Gwent and Magic: Arena to name a few.

The stock means less R&D money so less new heroes, the stock of this company affects the entire community. The economy affects everyone. That’s why we aren’t socialist. Because it’d wreck the economy.
- The second half of your post doesn’t make sense combined with the first.
- No. Available capital is not dictated by stock value.

It affects the value of the company, which could affect investment in a game, like OW. To be fair the second part doesn’t really make any sense when combined with the rest of my statement.
All stocks are falling due to the orange menace’s tariffs. Blizz isn’t alone.

yo, whats your source?
Just type “Activision Blizzard stock” in google.
Black Ops isn’t getting a great review, Diablo: Immortal was a flop, people are getting tired of the wow xpac and canceling their subs in droves…
As soon as the next content patch hits wow things will normalize a bit.
