Best the fans probably could hope for would be another split there as well, where Bliz can straighten things out themselves and do their own thing. Reminds me a bit of the Activision Bungie partnership, and look what Bungie ended up doing in the end, which many wanted but nobody thought would ever happen. It did seem to help Destiny overall, but enough damage had already been done by that point. I go back to it every once and a while here and there, but it's still not the same. For a world and industry so full of creativity, there's a lot of game changing going on instead of game creation. It's one thing when change is clearly needed, but another when change becomes the norm. Sad to see. |
Neither did I. I originally thought "nah, can't be real, it's another typical anon post on a chan board", but then I heard asmogold talking about the post and his interactions with Blizz employees on twitter, as well as generally looking at Blizz's game history and the things we didn't want implemented throughout multiple IP's.
I more or less see most of what was written as being legit, but I'm not sure about upper management losing their shit to FFXIV newcomers.
Still, the going woke part is starting to come to fruition with the most recent headline of them wanting to "diversify" staff. That and the recent painting changes in WoW.
I honestly just want the old teams back together, but a good chunk of them have left to make their own studios now, so if Blizz decided to somehow split from Activision, they would still have to try finding themselves again and going back to their roots (with brand new staff, even younger ones, I don't think that's entirely possible).
Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see
So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"
