Remember when people said the Activision Blizzard merger was no big deal

I love yong, but isn't this just "bliz has laid some dudes off"?

Huge AAA super-publishers are run by people who don't even play video games. Their business decisions are always exceptionally short sighted. Whatever maximizes the next quarter's profit, regardless of the long term ramifications.

Pump and dump

It would be nice to see these people close down shop and never have anything to do with the gaming industry again.

I still remember @iliketoast swearing up and down how activision had no bearing on blizzard ever.

God people who defended this shit when it started were the worst.

Sad to see as a 19 year blizzard fanboy

Activision must have been looking at the news at all the game companion getting called out lately and decided to defend their crown.

I just don't see Activision killing the blizzard IP's. they are too famous and valuable. in another topic someone told me how they killed off stuff like Tony Hawk. but Diablo, Warcraft and Starcraft>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Tony Hawk in terms of importance

I wish Activision never fucking merged on our precious Blizzard. A lot of the original developers for Diablo and Warcraft got out when they could. Super sad to think about how much I loved the warcraft world and how it's being shit on

The businesses you care about are still businesses, as it turns out.
---

Its pretty damn sad. Blizzard used to be one of the very top tier best devs in the entire world, now they are just a garbage heap

Its trying to cut costs by shedding some employees while trying to avoid the bad PR of "Blizzard lays off x% of staff".

Blizz deserves whatever they get for their bullshit, but isn't this just standard practice? What do you really expect a big corporation to do in this microcosm?

Yong Yea has such an annoying deadpan voice

But yeah, I remember when people thought Activision was no EA when it came to scuminess lol

Sometimes they're objectively worse
