Just saw this a couple hours ago, awesome watch. I had no idea they struggled for so long at the beggining even with those amazing games and awards under their belts, inspiring indeed.

yeah, the early days where it...
not so fond of the new stuff though (pretty much everything that came after wc3)

I just watched this start to finish; it was a really great video. They've got an awesome history and story behind them.

Awesome a lot of companies should follow this example and post a similar video on their websites.

Very inspiring thanks for creating & sharing that video blizzard!

I have to slap myself every morning to make sure I'm not dreaming.

A lot of that Blizzard culture is still prevalent to this day regardless of how big the company has grown. From the core values to the dedication to quality, these are the things that have never changed. And that is something I am so thankful for.

Damn, I sound like a fanboy.

So great, makes me want to reinstall WoW. Just to be part of SOMETHING they have done, such passion, such heat, they're churning that coal man:

Real interesting to watch. It's real awesome to see the process of them starting from such humble roots and growing over time.

I also had no idea that so few people worked on WoW (I think he said 60?). I was sure it was a major production with at least twice as many people.

.morph3us

well, as far as i understood they worked twice as much, so that evens it out

Saw this last night. Super cool to see how things all started. Also surprised wow was only 60 people creating the first one. Poured so many many days into that game. As well as all other Blizzard games. Such amazing art and such fun gameplay. God Im also such a fanboy
