I’m not at all saying I actually believe Gen Chat rumors. That said this wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest.
Therein lies my issue. After the merger I wholeheartedly believe that Blizzard had no intention of becoming Activision, and for a long while there was a very very clear difference. Now? I see no difference, I think that’s my biggest take away from the layoffs. That’s the biggest source of my disappointment.
