go back to sleep under your rock if you don't know what happen to blizzard.

Nothing, they had a massive year since Aug 2019 due to classic and a few months later 8.3. They're still making cash hand over fist, but those at the top want more of it. It's not like Activision is in trouble of sinking. 2019 MW made over $1 billion alone in 1 month.

Probably selling their souls to the chinks has something to do with it

Maybe they get rid of all the dross in the co. and start making good gaems?

doesn't matter how many they lay off. The talent all left long ago

Maximizing profits at every cost activision style, combined with a takeover of #woke thanks to hiring a fuckton of females just because.

>switching nondevelopement to outsource
Uh, hello? WC3 remake calling

>they'd rather hire a twitter celeb to tweet about their games!
surely these people aren't that oblivious? that's literally what video game marketing has been for years.

>They're still making cash hand over fist, but those at the top want more of it
This. The CoD they released a week ago is one of the best selling one they have ever had according to their stats. The new WoW expansion is coming out in 3-4 days and is apparently also one of the best selling ones in the last ~8 years. The firings are definitely not because they are struggling financially as a company.

>What the fuck happened to Blizzard?
Look at the name above it. One of the greediest jew ceos is milking it dry.

>They were once the top
Yes, more than 15 years ago. Blizzard has been a shit company for longer than it's been good, time to get over it.

oh my god! you finally woke up for your decade coma? That's great, happy for you, user!

>Yes hello sir and or madam my name is GM Pajeet I am here to offer assistance and this and that now what is the nature of the problem that you are requiring assistance with thank you?

>Activision Blizzard
Self-explanatory, really.

It's disgusting/amazing how Blizzard can still keep all their fanboys even after 15 years of shitting in their mouth over and over. Fanboys are pathetic and deserve to be exploited like that.

Don't worry about it, they will be replaced with top quality workers.

You know it felt like I always had the same GM take on my 'forgot my shit' ticket. The same femWorgen that always seemed so enthusiastic. I hope they're still around.

>yfw you realize this was done not only to hire weirdos who work for cheap just because it lets them change the pronouns of NPCs but also because this also makes it impossible to criticize Blizzard throwing away senior developers for codemonkeys because they're black female or queer
>yfw it working
>yfw the worse Blizz are the more money they make and the better their public image
>yfw Blizz are just 1 company of out of hundreds doing the same
>yfw this is the future you chose

The shareholders want bigger dividends.

>surely these people aren't that oblivious? that's literally what video game marketing has been for years.

Lol you're right, if that's their excuse for their being in their "jobs" then they are actually redundant... This isn't a really big layoff like the big one Blizz had in 2019. In a big corporation like this, 100 people is considered "trimming expenses".

>raise Australian WoW sub price to $20/month coming next month
>more layoffs
suck shit

>still want like $30/char to transfer

Good, the money they can save now can go towards making more LGBTP+ and BIPOC characters to trigger chud snowflakes.

Also the article states Blizzard CEO committed too expanding development staff by 2000+ people over the next year. So I mean this whole thread is basically pointless on the basis it was founded.

>didn't just redo WoW back in cataclysm when you were redoing the whole fucking world

dumbasses

The fact that classic didn't even get a texture upgrade either lol

>it's supposed to be shit just like back in the day

shit is 20 years old

>Transitioning to a full outsourcing setup.
Translation: American and european workers get replaced by cheap pakis and chinks.

Their share price is currently within 10% of their peak. They're just cutting expenses again to show the bottom line is good to their shareholders

Blizzard died when it became ActiBlizzard

They're just firing employees in all departments they can easily outsource to low cost countries. Basically what every other company in every sector is doing right now.

Didn't these guys make a billion dollars in 3 months from cod microtransactions or something?

Who cares, Blizzard is bottom-of-the-barrel garbage at this point. If you loved the company at all, you would have stopped caring long ago about the fate of this Weekend at Bernie's abomination of a corpse that keeps being paraded around as the developer it used to be. Anyone who still makes any purchase from Blizzard, or even gives their time to Blizzard, is just actively licking Blizzard's butthole to get shat in their mouth. Move on, and just stop caring about whatever giga-kike tactic they come up with next. Give other developers your time and attention instead.

Not enough. Must increase cash flow.
