BUT INDUSTRY TREND ISN’T TO DROP 5$ IN ONE WEEKEND LOL.
NEITHER IS IT TO DROP 8$ IN ONE SINGLE DAY.
I’m speaking to a freaking wall.

You’re talking to a Blizzard employee on his personal account.

Exactly.
If you’re still paying; it must be fine.

Ok. So you feel that Blizzcon was the issue.
I am saying if Blizzcon was the issue, the investors are idiots. Investors stop investing because a company won’t make them money. Does anyone doubt that Diablo Immortal won’t make money in China? Or generally world wide?
Yet apparently this is why the company suddenly dropped.

You must be a Square Enix employee.
The AAA industry is in a bad spot right now, filled with malinvestment, internal politics leading development decisions, loot box systems being more and more rejected by the community, HR/Marketing making incredibly stupid decisions, and people getting tired of the activist developers inside these companies, and you are left with a mess.
Publicly traded game studios seem to be more a negative then a positive by far, and I think maybe we need more developers outside of the west coast. Something in the water maybe that has them double down on everything.

funny that you’ve ignored the other fact that i put in your face, their stock value dropping 8$ after the investor call. You keep talking about blizzcon but never about the shareholders call…

I am going one point at a time.
No you’re just promoting the one fact that you feel like you can defend.

lol, putting your money just about anywhere other then the game industry is normally a better decision. Game studios, on the whole, do not simply print money(at least the amount investors want). There are better buys out there. Also, dont assume Blizzard will make the money desired simply because they are moving it to china. China is changing their video game rules as we speak, and you can never guarantee success, the industry is in a bad spot and blizzard particularly, because it is losing the trust it was assumed from virtue of its past.

I bet he didn’t even listen in on the call. The entire thing was basically them apologizing for how awful all of their games were doing financially (not counting WoW or Candy Crush), but that they have “a lot of promise and hope for the future” with no actual substance. This is absolute poison for any investor. It’s so funny, ActiBlizz can’t please their diehard fans or their investors. I mean, at least pick one you idiots.

Yeah. It was interesting how WoW was basically one of the best products, helping to cover from other negatives from other products.
WoW is so horrible, I guess…that it performing well is used to help compensate for other games doing badly.

This is essentially the whole problem with AAA gaming. It’s not as much money as they want. Because every game should just conjure money like FIFA used to; right?
Volatile changing market; heavy uncertainty. No surprise that investor confidence and prices fall when uncertainty is high.

Now you are just being petty and trolling.
The investor call repeatedly pointed out how WoW’s profits helped to compensate for other low performing products.

Yea except the issue on the earnings call was that Activision’s properties like Destiny and Black Ops 4 underperformed.

Financial success =/= good. I mean look at the tremendous amount of fools that threw their money for a dumb blue fox because they’re irresponsible consumers. No wonder WoW is doing fine.
1-800-COME-ON-NOW, you aren’t even trying.
