What was the office in France doing for Blizzard?
Sorry you’re wrong White Knight. They did cause they have been bleeding subs now for 2 years. Dev’s are just lining their pockets before this game goes under.
Imagine white knighting Bobby Kotick and Activision uwu
Generally when a YouTube channel’s analytics show a slow increase then quick burst of viewership, it’s bots. That channel you linked has the same exact analytics trends as Twitch Viewbotters, just saying. That’s how most people were caught, non randomized trends.
Lol ok your persuasive argument back by clear evidence has shown me the error of my ways. Thank you comrade!
It’s common sense I don’t mean to be rude or nasty sorry. Some many intelligent people in this world that have no common sense.
Everyone knows Shadowlands is going to be as popular as Wrath though.
hmmm shame most won’t be on playing it tho.
My company has actually let a lot of people go now that COVID has shown a light on how redundant a lot of positions were. Its enabled the company to close facilities and consolidate on-site personnel into one building too. Also saving a ton of money on leases and selling unneeded real estate.
Dont know if this is the same recipe at BlizZard. Sucks to see people get sacked but business does not = charity.
But the product is what is suffering so I don’t see the justification in it sorry.
Their profits continually increase Y/Y. No one gives a damn about sub numbers.
Yeah by sacking 1200 workers I would say.
Their profits have been stable or on an upward trend since Legion. Your remark on sub counts is superficial, you have no idea what their sub count is and neither do I or anyone else except folks at Blizzard. What I do know is Legion was a popular expansion. BfA broke sales records. Classic had/has? queues to enter a realm. Retail had queues on several servers with the pre patch. That doesn’t sound like a game or company giving off a death rattle.
You realize the people sacked were the grunts right? That didn’t account for the millions increased.
To be fair, they’re doing the best they can. When you go from high-end school developers to community college ones, you’re going to get what you get.
My company tried doing this once with engineers. We had engineers from Purdue, which has the best engineering school in the country to ones from local community colleges. The former did thorough root-cause analysis and solved problems. The latter acted more like firefighters with bandaids.
That’s why they merged empty realms? I could log day night anytime and it was a hype of activity, on Oceanic realms 8:30pm it’s as dead as a door nail now. Even on the American serves it’s the same
I dont know if those let go have anything to do with the final product.
I’d be lying if I claimed to know if it was justified.
In my business’ case the people let go were not “creatives” but behind the scene admin/finance/purchasing/IT support types.
That’s what Blizzard fired too. It was mostly marketing/e-sports stuff, and some CS. No devs or anyting of the sort were fired.
There nothing creative about this game now or has been for many years it’s old recycled content.
You know what they say about opinions, right?
