It's tempting to linger in this moment, while every possibility still exists. But unless collapsed by an observer, they will never be more than possibilities.

Real talk

Do we thing Activision rebrands Blizzard into just being an internal Activision studio within the next 5 years?

Unless there's yet more bad news about to drop shortly, I don't think there's any extremely recent scandal. If there was we'd probably have an Overwatch announcement of some kind meant to overshadow it as usual.

This is probably just their brand popularity continuing to plummet. With them cancelling Overwatch 2 PvE entirely (which is the only reason they made Overwatch 2), they may be in their lowest state to date.

Why would they do that? Wouldn't it make more sense to fold them into just being an internal Microsoft studio?

Besides, Blizzard's stuff is more successful than Activision's non-CoD stuff. WoW subscribers are way up. It's the definitive MMO again.

Oh, well, yeah. The implication here is the same.

Probably also worth noting that Diablo 4 is bigger than any MS game this generation.

I mean what could they possibly announce that would justify a whole Blizzcon?

They already announced the D4 expansion, OW2 and Hearthstone aren't getting any significant updates.

OW2 losing PVE and Hearthstone actually lost 2 modes recently as well (Mercenaries is dead and Duels got completely removed)

Not a lot of exciting news to share from Blizzard I'd imagine.

Honestly, this might just be a result of the merger causing a lot of things to be reorganized and re-examined. Which still isn't a good sign, but not necessarily a sign that Blizzard is sinking.

The thing is, despite all their terrible PR lately and all the vocal criticism from fans, their top games are doing good numbers and are profitable. There's a very large dissonance from the critic's perception of things and the actual state of things, and a lot of people aren't getting that.

Blizzcon has really always just been an announcement or two and then small glances at where all their IPs are going..

Pretty sure last years was already outsourced to a third party.

I knew this day would come ever since The Lost Vikings 3 was never announced.
