Yes, correctly. But they sell that as casinò and only +18 can enter there.
The first bias is that blizzard (and sadly/probably others) is selling this as classified esport game. Advertising as this, you can read also on the button of queue: join ranked match with opponent of your rank.
Blizzard has lost 25% of it’s value in the last 3 months. Vanguard beta flopped relatively speaking and will have actual competition for the first time in BF2042 and Halo. OW2 is at least 8 months away. D4 is a few years away.
Add in these increasingly revealing and damaging news cycles and lawsuits and it’s creating a compelling reason for the board to consider replacing the executive team.
Seemingly, OW team has been called the “safest”, but even if, this is still too big of an IP to just abandon. Higher-ups would just put a new team to run the thing, so the game itself isn’t really in a big danger.
I rightly blame Activision. With that company’s reputation. I am sure they put in an HR department that looked the otherway and soon others thought they could get away with it.
Activision is NOT known for success. AT ALL. They have lots of money, they buy up stuff because they have backers and then they turn any project they get ahold of. Into a steaming hot mess. Then leave it to others to fix. Companies like them, install workers with a POOR reputation in order to dislodge anyone with Tenure from the company.
Just speculating here: Kaplan and Micheal both got out not too long before this happened. They may have even been knowing this was happening and then got fedup and left. But I was always wondering why Kaplan left when he did. A person whom pretty much led the charge for the Development of Overwatch and propelling World of Warcraft to a high level of success. Then they both suddenly exit a few months prior to this.
They had to of known something. But my guess is, Activision wouldn’t listen.
Ever since Activision merged into Blizzard. It has been NOTHING but trouble.
Wrong. The huge majority of products and services are not obtained through work exploitation. Open your window and have a look. Only some companies do this, especially with very bad and greedy managers.
They have to. You can get a free account to read, you cannot use one without an account to write. Yes, in the context of a forum poster you are correct then.
Ridiculous. At the very least an option for which you prefer is in order. We are trapped in one big loop on this coming around as people are getting a bit over the top. Give it time, one benefit of being older is that nothing lasts and all this goes in cycles.
