Color me surprised 
Iād rather color you puce.
sounds like youāre the puce xd
Dude, just from Overwatch alone, Blizz makes plenty of money. Mix that with their crap in e-sports? Nah, they are well off. But this is Blizzard-Activision. Our voices donāt matter, our views donāt matter.
Do you think the layoffs were because blizzard founder afford to pay them?
I am kind of puce, a lighter shade I guess.
the layoffs were to satisfy investors because even though there were record profits at the company 2019 is going to be slow. Squeezing blood from stones.
Yes. Thatās most likely partially correct.
In that case, you should take a look at the rest of the corporations around the world. If youād like to boycott every company who has done something like this, might I suggest a small farm where you can live out the rest of your days?
I canāt speak for felryn, but to me Blizzard wasnāt just one of these corporations that would cut out important members of the community team to save a few bucks. I always held Blizzard up higher than that, they were a great company.
I no longer think of blizzard that way. They are EA now. They are Ubisoft now. They are Activision now.
The Blizzard we grew up loving is dead and gone.

How old are you btw? If that isnāt a rude question.
I ask because all the posts of yours I have read so far have been calm and rational, so i pegged you as older, 30-45 range. Curious if I am correct.
Iāll be 42 in April so you were spot on. Also, Iām not sure if I said it in this thread or not and it bears on this discussion, I was laid off from my job of ten years on Dec 28 2018.
Thank you. 44 here. Sorry to hear that. Getting laid off is rough, but it isnāt the end of the world. I wish you luck finding new work.
If only they released good quality games. Then all of this would be avoided and theyād be making loads of money too.
This is a company that is releasing a product people donāt like and expects to make a profit. Theyāre capitalisming wrong. In order to make profit, you gotta sell something people actually want to pay for.
Thanks I appreciate it, and youāre right. It does suck but itās not the end. Iāll get a new job and go from there.

they made record profits.
Having a ton of money isnāt enough.
They need ALL of the money.
Those record profits arenāt coming from game sales. Theyāre mostly coming from subscriptions or in game shop sales and Overwatch League. Am I the only one that actually read the earnings report for Q4?
I seriously love hypocrites, they make the internet so much more fun
So you donāt have anything to add?
