I’m working this weekend but this is a dinner break . Been reading the book chronicling the history of blizzard called “play nice the rise fall and future of blizzard entertainment “ by Jason schreier.
I’m post it here for the following reasons…
First having gone all day as the only one working in this whole department o needed a break and .
Second as a longtime customer of blizzard (since the 90’s) I find it to be a quite good read and interesting. So as an avid reader just passing along a tip to others who enjoy reading.
Lastly for the criticism posted about blizzard on these forums over the years this book may open you mind to what REALLY happened to some events in the company’s history - some things may make you feel more down on them but some events will make you go “oh cool”.
I am not being paid to hock this book btw. lol if I wasn’t working I’d probably not be posting .

I don’t care about what happens inside of Blizzard, I only care about the product they pump out.

i’ll pass on reading it.
As a side note, the writer seems kinda unhinged.

Can you give us an example of this from the book?
Lots of folks are recommending that book.
I’ll probably check it out, when there’s a video on it lol.
Boo boo everyone has sad stories even companies. Make a good game. All this “have mercy” crap is nonsense. This is their job. Expecting them to overcome workers lace adversity and setbacks to keep producing quality content is THEIR JOB

Nope. Not interested in someone’s drivel about a company I could honestly care less about.
Dude worked for Kotaku as an investigative journalist. So… you’re probably not wrong.

Expect them to behave as their programming dictates…
Idk why there are so many naysayers and people dismissing it. The excerpts about Blizzard’s hiring practices are horrific tbh.
nice job with the side ways image in there. Luckily I can detach my head.
