Blizzard / Team4 Staff is really upset right now

So the devs are upset because they will have to show up to work to their comfy offices for at least 3 days a week :joy:

Oh no, how horrible!

Suits don’t have a grand plan, they’re just a bunch of psychopaths thinking short term loses to give fourth quarter boosts for the share holders.

the dating sim was good imo but wasn’t even made by blizzard which tells a lot

it really depends what contract you signed for. If you have signed to work on spot, there is no getting around that.

Just for the sake of being an ***hole here.

Senior character artist - the guy that gave us 3 visually blandest characters in OW2 history. One of them ripped off entirely from Ghostwire Tokyo.

Senior test analyst - yeah, right, “testing” in OW2. Which got FPS drops and bugs on the old maps. And bugged matchmaker. LMAO.

Senior 3D character artist - pass. The models are nice I guess.

Senior writer and narrative designer - so, guy does literally nothing.

Senior character artist - another one.

Senior game designer - one of the guys who gave us 5vs5 without actually tweaking half of the roster for it?

Community manager - anybody saw him?

Senior mission designer - mission design in OW, lol.

Senior animator - the only guy who seems to do his job.

Environment artist - the guy responsible for reusing map assets and changing lighting to a worse one.

Senior 3D character artist - pass.

Soooooo… you know. maybe they can’t work from homes after all.

Well, from what I saw, some employees would need to travel ~4 hours round trip to get to work

That’s 4 hours every day, unpaid, spent either on a bus, taxi or in a car. Work will not pay for your trip. If you have kids, now you have to pay for a babysitter or figure out how to get them to school on their own.

Not sure what this has to do with what I said, but I’m not defending that. Shouldn’t even be 20$ in the first place.

Until you realize that this means a fair amount of them will have to move as they don’t necessarily live close to the office and this uproots their entire life they’ve built for themselves, but sure, lol it off.

I would expect Microsoft to win both hearings because even with the merger they are not a top 2 gaming company in size (barely top 3). From a monopolization standpoint the easy argument then is that this merger creates competition in a monopolized space rather than stifling it. It is one of the reasons most legal experts expect that the challenge will be easily defeated.

Blizz hiring a bunch of people out of state during the pandemic, only to decide half a year later that everyone should work in person or lose their jobs when things are looking bad for them profit wise, doesn’t look bad to you?

I think everyone should be worried, because no devs = no game, and acknowledge that the people currently doing the firing are the people pricing the products, not the devs.
