You're the CEO of blizzard entertainment

They arent.

They just pander to woke culture. They could care less. They have done their best to bow down before their CCP gods to keep that market while the CCP commits genocide.

No one cares about you at a company. They care about your wallet. Thats it.

What does the CCP have to do with woke culture? When Iā€™m thinking of John Locke, the Bill of Rights and civil liberties the CCP is not the first organization that comes to mind.

Nothing. Itā€™s just another in a long line of bogeymen a certain faction uses to keep their base scared and angry.

Work long enough to ensure my golden parachute.
Get let go for being a piss poor CEO - atleast in the eyes of the greedy board members and investors.

Use the money I would receive to pay off my debts, buy a house, and use the remaining millions to hire some ambitious coders and what else I need for game developement and start my own game studio. Remain a small game studio, privately owned as to avoid greedy investors, pay salary and fund projects with the money I received as a Activision CEO, and eventually with the games that are going to be released.

As the studio gains notoriety, and the games starts to sell well I will rework employee contracts. I will take a small cut of earnings, the employees will have a higher pay than myself and we all get a bonus based on performance. My main job will be to ensure that finance and legalities are in order, as well as media representation - developers should focus on the game but the lead dev will be a part of the media representation, as they will have more knowledge of the game being developed.

I will endorse and work towards a microtransaction free game developement along with the lead dev, economy will be strictly game sales along with larger expansions for different game franchises. No small DLC sales. Will also work with not-china based companies to create franchise-related quality, physical, collectors items and fan-clothing that can be bought seperately.

At first the games will be purchased and downloaded from a website designed specifically for the studio and its games. Will eventually work with steam and GOG to release games on those platforms, but not Epic game store.

Will mostly use reddit for advertisement at first, but I expect to get more mouth to mouth advertisement as the studio grows in popularity, trying to save as much money on advertisement as humanly possible.

What do you do?

Whatever Activision or Microsoft tell me to do. In all seriousness, Iā€™d axe all phone games and MTX and force quality over cash grabbing. If investors donā€™t like it, buy back shares and go private.

delete entire phone game division

fire everyone in charge of class design, class balance and replace them with new and younger people.

force raiding to 8-10 man teams for mythic or get rid of raiding altogether. one or the other.

probably stop carl on duty from being a yearly release and instead make them put more effort into being quality games, not the same crap on repeat but with slightly different maps

take money and start anti-corporation movement and run ads on radio and television, put up billboards declaring corporations evil and that they need to go

Iā€™d immediately appoint Shreds to my position, or to the highest position which the board would allow me to appoint him.

Anything I want because I probably have a $100m severance package soā€¦

(Recognising that CEOs donā€™t get involved in minute game details)

  • All employees get a living wage, and full benefits, plus an independent HR Ombudsperson.
  • Profit sharing for all employees. No redesignating actual employees as ā€œcontractorsā€. Executive bonuses indexed to employee profit sharing.
  • World of Starcraft
  • Blizzcon gets divided up by Region. Blizzcon (Vegas), Blizzcon Europe, Blizzcon Asia Pacific
  • In recognition that mobile games fade fast, and MMOs keep customers over long periods, 20% of mobile gaming profits are channelled into MMO development and increasing CS staff.
  • Every MMO expansion purchased within a month of launch gets you 10% off future expansions. Yes it stacks.

Just to be SUPER controversial, I would give all raids the same ILVL drops, and titles/mounts/toys/pets can only be earned by solo queue LFR.

Normal - Mythic raiding will only be done because people want the challenge.

Iā€™d give the game to the players.

Give Worgen tails.

shoot, i give tail options to ALL races. we lore explain it as a transmutation magic created by the collaboration of Alchemists, Engineers, Scribes, and Mages. and some extra assistance from Transmoger experts the Ethereals. Party illusion magic. rogue disguises. its a real team effort imparting the skills needed to allow Barber shop workers to step up their game.

tail options include Dragon tails, Fox tails, wolf tails, cat tails. birb tails. multiple tails. tail accessories. sizes, lengths and styles.

this is the expansion feature TAILored to the NEW tale of customized identity~
