Blizzard absorbing more of Activision

can’t include links, gotta google gamindustry.biz or something E: nvm comment below me got it

Vicarious Visions team of about 200 people will be employees of Blizzard and “fully dedicated to existing Blizzard games and initiatives,”

This studio was apparently independent from Activision until it was picked up in 2005. It looks like they’ve been contributing to Blizzard games for a while though?

They declined to specify what the team has been working on with Blizzard, or for how long.

Yes you can. Someone just made another thread about this linking to it.

Cute! Sounds great. It’s always nice to find out that talented people are going to be working on something that you care about.

Hopefully, some of them are here for WoW!

Except for a few whitelisted sites, you need to be trust level 3 to post links. He’s only trust level 2.

There’s a trust level? I had no clue. How do you check?

Yep. There’s 0 through 3. The higher you get the more stuff you can do.

If you go to your character page and add .json to the end of the url it’ll take you to a page with your attributes. Once there, look for the highest trust level it shows.

You’re level 3.
