Blizzard is a dying company, they had a good thing going but fucked themselves. The old guys have already left and probably dumped their stocks a long time ago.

>> No.12736337

I will press F, but to say fuck to this company. Fuck the poor choices they made. Most of the valuable staff left long ago anyways.

Looks like classic is gonna be even worst than my worst expectations.

not enough kids, blizzard peaked when millenal large generations peaked and also got lucky hitting a jackpot with diablo, starcrafts and wow. not gonna return to their former glory ever again. i would just shut down company and focus on running starcraft tournaments from now on since esports is the thing now

I'm just happy another SJW company is going under. Don't be mistaken, many of these companies like Buzzfeed, EA and Blizzard are actually still profitable but it seems investors are giving up on exponential growth and now are just laying off a bunch of the fat (hopefully diversity hires and other useless people) to have an actual normal linear growth business like everyone else.

I'm not pressing F for these social justice pieces of shit.

I was a shareholder... but when they annoucned diablo 2 immortal, i sold. It was a rip off mobile game, when quite literally the old croud is where they make their money. We played d2 when we where kids.. im 30 now, ill gladly play 200$ for a badass diablo 4(if its like d2)

But nah. Fuck that lets get zoomers with mobile gaming.

Blizzard died years ago

Nothing changes. The execs that made all of the decisions stay. They still get their giant bonuses. They run the company into the ground, jump off with golden parachutes and find another company to latch on to.

BfA was such a fucking turd. Overwatch was done after a month.
They canned 4 years of work on two unreleased games.
Now mobile Diablo? Action rpg on platform with shitcontrols?
So fucking stupid.

Maybe classic wow will give them some relief. I imagine lots of nostalgia boomers getting into it again.
