While not surprising, I wonder what effect, if any, this will have on the company:

Maybe the game awards should implement Razzies. Then actiblizz would probably sweep the catagories.

I don’t think it will have much of an impact. Not imo would it have a whole lot to offer.
Here in Netherlands, there used to be a ‘lead Lookie’ reward for most horrible tv commercial.
They could do biggest disappointment award.

Game awards barely mean anything to consumers anyways.

Blizzard didn’t have anything to show, so who cares.

I had no idea this was a thing and that it’s been going on since 2014

It’s basically just for advertisement purposes, really.
The Player Hater’s Ball is what they go to.

" However, it’s unclear if that lack of involvement is meant to be critical or carries any actual weight rather than just a statement of fact - The Post already confirmed that Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2 would not be featured at this year’s show, so there was little expectation that Activision would be featured or overly involved in the first place."
From that Wowhead post.
I don’t think I’d really read anything into it right now. It’s not like they’re cancelling the two nominations they do have.
My guess would be next to none, apart from some mild trolling which happens every day already.
Its just to advertise a companies latest games. Since they have nothing to show.
It does not really matter. It also seems a lot of companies in the gaming industry
are choosing to hold their own events to show their products.
I never said they were. I specifically quoted the Tweet that says exactly how this is working. I’m not reading anything in to anything.
In light of all blizzards issues, it’s best for all parties
Well, other than D2R, Blizz haven’t released any other game. So its participation is kind of meaningless anyways.
I just see it as more of an advertising and inclusivity into the gaming industry thing.
I have never even heard of this event.

I never said you said you were 
Which is why I said I wouldn’t read anything into it.
How did scandals at Riot and Ubisoft affect their participation, if any?
