Maybe Blizzard should go back to focusing on making a great game instead of just trying find ways to increase /played through rep gating and RNG? The current strategy is working so well for them.

Blizzard stock is being punished because of bad game decisions.
The stockholders will soon be demanding the reinstatement of flight!
Otherwise, this is a $5 stock!!!

I think it only went down like 15 bucks but still for something that's constantly changing as stocks do itll probably go back up sooner or later.
every publisher/dev stock dropped today. clearly this is a conspiracy. video games aren't popular anymore and it's all Blizzard's fault.

You're backsliding on the italics.
And the stock took a bit of a hit because their 4th quarter guidance was lower than expectations.
The market really doesn't look at the games on a granular level. They're looking at expectations, performance, and guidance for the future.

There is no Blizzard stock. There is ATVI for Activision-Blizzard, which covers all Activision products, King Entertainment products, and Blizzard products.
So the ATVI stock going down does not necessarily mean it has anything to do with Blizzard products, or if it does, may or may not have anything to do specifically with World of Warcraft.

But they both can rise and sink together. One drags on the other.
I am convinced the doomsayers have no clue how stocks work.

Ok. So my view point is that the lack of flight is not the reason the stocks suddenly dipped a little.
I firmly believe RNG loot and rep gates had no effect on the stock drop being referenced by the OP.
Do you feel any of these statements reveal a person not understanding stocks?

Well Acti-blizzard feels more like a company for profit today rather than a company for gamers anyways.

The CEO was replaced so the stock holders are taking notice. The problem is the new CEO will prolly double down and keep ION as lead dev.

Bad publicity is absolutely capable of causing stock prices to tank. Just because one group of people are blowing it out of proportion doesnât make you an expert for disagreeing with them.

Well go back to their original model of play before WOW turned to garbage.
Funny thing is when Blizzard was a company for gamers, that is when they had their largest sub base and made the most profits.11/10/2018 12:08 PMPosted by WariyaWell Acti-blizzard feels more like a company for profit today rather than a company for gamers anyways.

I am not straw manning. The OP and other posters have literally said. In this thread. That the reason the stocks dropped is because of a lack of flight, rep gates, and RNG. You on the other hand, are using arguments I did not make. And are ignoring what people are actually talking about in this thread.
