Mike Morhaime jump ship from Blizzard

Community General Discussion
21

This game is a sinking ship, it’s not about “doomsaying” anymore. Friend lists, raid teams, and guilds are falling apart and the only way one wouldn’t notice it is if they play this game mostly solo or pure solo. Sure, the servers aren’t going to be shut down any time soon but it’s no secret that it’s headed downhill population-wise.

I don’t blame significant employees for jumping ship, it’s more than a common trend for Blizzard the last handful of years but the game still isn’t going to die off completely yet - if that’s where this thread is trying to go.

He is still there until April 7 2019, did you even read the SEC filing?

The Pandaren actually had a good story with both humor and drama. It was the best part of MoP. The worst part of it came from Cataclysm in Garrosh.

You need to add an alert that it’s TheQuartering, I clicked the video and then started vomiting uncontrollably.

Just like there needs to be a seizure warning in some vids, there needs to be a Quartering warning.

Once in a while Quartering will put out a good video but most of the time it’s high school drama style garbage.

He’s basically “click bait” the channel.

You’re seriously the cutest little salty thing.

OP come on this news is from last October… So he’s outta there for good in April… he’s retired. It’s actually sad, but the “strategic advice” isn’t going to go on forever.
I’ve actually liked this guy’s videos before, but he’s stretching for content here.

It seems a lot of people are leaving Blizzard. I just read an article about it the other day. Not all of them are big name employees, but a few people have left recently.

Go figure, OP didn’t look into it at all. :roll_eyes:

Pack it up everyone, we’re done here. Nothing new to see.

I’m looking forward to seeing what the new CEO (former exec producer) is going to do. I think good things are to come. I’m optimistic.

I’m cautiously optimistic. The Diablo Immortal fiasco soured me a bit. BFA has already been mostly lackluster so it didn’t help.

They really need to hit some home runs soon.

Well they squandered a ton of dev time on project titan. They salvaged overwatch from it sure. But titan also gave us WoD since they largly abandoned wow during titans development. With bfa they need to fix the classes and make them fun again.

Something announced very publicly in Nov 2018 is not news in Jan 2019… This thread is just advertising spam for a random youtuber.

It isn’t really a random youtuber. They are somewhat well known. It’s the buzzfeed of WoW news, effectively.

The information IS new though. He is splitting ties completely. I just don’t know how relative that even is to the company. For all we know he wasn’t doing much of anything already.

cut your losses and run… sell your stock if you can before the price plummets any further would be my advice.

I have already sold my stock in ATVI before it crashed . Unlikely I will ever buy it again . Too volatile of a company right now with no real leadership

Well it’s back on the rise again. Probably not a bad idea to buy
