Activision has zero to do with the development of Blizzard games. Blizzard Entertainment is a subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, but has little else to do with the running of the company. Our Developers determine the content of our games.

Yea like Bioware operated outside the influence of EA

Blizzard is in no way obligated to tell us the truth - they have to be true to the people holding their leash, but that is sadly not the players in their mind.

I don’t trust Blizzard in the slightest. If Activision has nothing to do with the development of the games, then Blizzard is just as bad as Activision and doesn’t need their influence.

[Delimicus-heartseeker]

Remember when Activision merged with Blizzard and started selling lootboxes and store mounts and focused only on making money? That’s what everyone says, right?

Blizzard released a trading card game in 2006 with rare loot cards. In 2007, they released the Spectral Tiger loot card, this was before the merger.

Blizzard pioneered the first iteration of loot boxes in a video game. Buy cards for a game you’ll never play to get cool items in the game you do play. Do you think they would have never continued to iterate on this once they determined how little money they could spend to make millions?

If Blizzard was constantly lying about everything you think they are, there’d be gaming website articles and former employees speaking out all the time. If these Blue posters were blatantly lying about Activision’s involvement, you’d be hearing about it from every crappy gaming magazine trying to make a quick buck.

I recall hearing from a former big name at Blizzard saying getting any change was weeks of board meetings with shareholders to try and convince them how it’d be profitable. That’s… pretty corporate and bad for game development.

[Delimicus-heartseeker]

You remember hearing this. Okay, link me the article so I can read it, please.

Here’s an article from over a year ago about how Activision execs were putting pressure on Blizzard developers to avoid spending money to try and recreate Overwatch’s success.

https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/activist-investor-targets-activision-blizzard-ceos-exorbitant-pay-package

And here’s an article about the huge pay Kotick got while Blizzard also laid off 750 employees.

I couldn’t find the article talking about the developer in question sadly, but hopefully this is a good alternative.

[Delimicus-heartseeker]

Firstly, before I even read the articles.

@Esimpure-whitemane

Blizzard also laid off 750 employees.

The February 2019 layoffs impacted the entirety of Activision-Blizzard. The number of employees laid off by Blizzard was around 220. There’s also a large bit of further misinformation that is constantly spread throughout the WoW community concerning those layoffs that I’ll quickly address here.

• No GM’s were laid off.
• The only two positions cut from the CS department were a Bliz. IT Analyst and a Blizzard BI Programmer, zero actual CS.
• The World of Warcraft QA team was not impacted.

You can’t lay off GMs if you already have a lack of them. Also, I know one CM in particular that got laid off who was actually making an impact on Blizzard/player interactions. And had a master list which was taken after his firing and is being used on Shadowlands too.

[Delimicus-heartseeker]

CM’s aren’t part of the CS department.

I read those links, the conveniently anonymous sources link reads like speculation and has no evidence for any of the claims.

The foxbusiness link is about a salary and has nothing to do with our conversation.

Show me the former big name at Blizzard calling them out for bowing to their supposed overlords at Activision. Sounds like a BIG story, should be easy to find.

@Esimpure-whitemane

You can’t lay off GMs if you already have a lack of them.

Blizzard’s CS team is around 1,000. I don’t know exactly how many of them are GM’s but if you think back to every single time a post came up with a conversation with a GM and they showed the GM’s name, you’ll probably never see the same GM name twice. They have a lot of GM’s.
