So when and why did Blizzard die?

>>717859628 (OP)
>talent marketing "specialist"
so the real problem is bureaucracy

I'm pretty sure it already is dead. Once you get bought by microsoft then it's pretty much over.
Their current games are just dying shells. Don't expect blizzard to go out with a bang but with a whimper.

IC unit when they closed Blizzard North in 2005, then the talent slowly left the company. Death was confirmed with the release of StarCraft 2 in 2010.

Blizzard was never particularly good.
Their games were always behind technically in each genre they touched.

Activision buyout was the killing blow. The wound has only rotted and infected since then.

2013 is the year "Old Blizzard" died.
Before that Activision was only able to force so many things, At the time Blizzard were the GOLDEN boys, they could do no wrong. They were allowed to do as they please for the most part as long as the hits kept coming. Then Cata/mop came, SC2 and D3. Cata/Mop both did lots of damage to the game but it ended up being that way for a reason. SC2 was a shitshow also an RTS, which even back in 2010 was niche. D3, wew. You had to be there to understand the depths of their fuck ups. Then Project Titan failed, they spent 5 years trying to get their new MMO up and running and it failed form a fun game. After that Bobby had all the excuses he needed to send in his guys to take direct control. Heroes of the Storm and Overwatch were the very last bit of "Old Blizzard Magic", both were snuffed out due to trying to astroturf E-sports.

It WAS fun to play, there seemed like there was a whole world to explore and flesh out. Filled with characters people like. The Problem with Overwatch was how it was monetized and so focused on E sports post launch.
Also those idiots who deny it, don't know the history of Overwatch. It was the remains of Project Titan. So yes, Overwatch is Old Blizzard that was cobbled together by Activision -Blizzard.

well anon, you see, your job is not purely about your performance. If you are a likable person, and you are not fucking about, you probably won't lose your job unless it's a REALLY dire situation.

Bobby Kotick

The Kotick method of game publishing is to buy up studios and IP, install management and HR who's sole job is to replace the original developers and creatives at the studio with underpaid interns and contractors, then strip out any benefits the company once had.

Blizzard went from a company of 20-40 full time designers, artists, and developers, to a team of 500 cheap interns.

>But wouldn't hiring more shitty devs be more expensive than keeping one good dev

Not to investors, Investors believe in growth at all costs, opperating costs and ROI increase valuation in a company, this is what publishers and investors want, to pump numbers and sell stock, they don't give a fuck about the actual ROI and profits from the company, so if you sell the idea that the company is getting bigger, hiring more employees to work on more projects, it looks good on the books.

Now if you want to talk about what actually happened with Blizzard itself, simply put the original blizzard devs who made all the good games went to work on Project Titan and left a bunch of interns in charge of WOW and SC2. The Scope of Titan was too dumb to actually be realized and there were creative differences between Metzen, a storyteller, and Pardo, a game designer, which really shows when Metzen went off to make his own D&D campaign book while Pardo went on to make a dogshit MOBA.

Without Metzen and Pardo, the other major IPs were left in the hands of interns like Ion Hozzikotas and Ghostcrawler for WOW, Dustin Browder for SC2

Also Blizzard north was shut down, and Diablo without David Brevik just isn't diablo, and blizzard keeps failing to hone in on that gothic horror fantasy that Blizzard North was able to do.

And I can't stress just how bad their current leadership is, Ion Hozzikotas isn't a game developer, he never was

TL:DR, all the old devs are gone and the new devs are retarded interns who have never created an original product or IP in their lives.

Every good character in blizzard games did fucked up shit, they were the fucked up person who was strong enough to get shit done.

Arthas purged strathlome not because it was a good thing to do, it was the right thing to do given the dire situation they were in, but he still fucked up in Northrend betraying his people, his mercenaries, and taking a cursed blade to aid him in a quest for vengence

Garrosh was fighting a war, in the world of WARcraft, he was going to have to do war, the writers just made him retarded in Pandaria for some reason and then got rid of him probably because they found out that the new writers were absolutely dogshit at writing good stories and had to lean on the dogshit cosmic saturday morning cartoon villian of the week instead

patently not true, you actually need to fuck around as much as your other coworkers to ensure they like you. If you don't, even if your getting much more work done then them, if the higher ups and popular people are your workplace don't like you, they'll eventually try to replace you. I've worked so many jobs were a persons productivity was secondary to how much the boss liked them in terms of how they would be treated and if they would get raises/promotions.
