"The author was saying that to make a good game devs MUST use cutting edge tech which WoW proves him wrong." There's an exception to every rule and Blizzard is an amazingly horrible example to bring up in this case. WoW sold because everyone bought into it the second it was announced. There was never any question about WoW…
Wow, You completely missed out on War Hammer table top games by Game Workshop haven't you. It was practically War Hammer table top strategy game by Game Workshop that "brought" the idea of Warcraft RTS to Blizzard. Turning that first War Hammer tabletop game in to a video game for PC was something Blizzard really wanted to…
well keep in mind that blizzard never really had much to do with dota. (except for making wc3 + the editor for people to use). So in the lawsuit, it was actually the other way around, valve wanted to copyright dota, and blizzard wanted to keep dota as a public/usable name so they could name their version "blizzard dota"…
Really? So then what's stopping blizzard from selling Starcraft2 directly to the players? They could just say to hell with retailers, cut them out of the loop, and sell their games on their websites. It's not the retail establishment. It's the people above blizzard that just wouldn't want to see that happen. And for that…
Question: How "tight" are Blizzard and Activision? Are they a single company now, as in "Activision Blizzard says 'make shitty knockoffs' and the Blizzard team has to"? Seems IW got screwed and the whole thing smells like massive layoffs by 2011 to me, but I'd really hate to see Blizzard pulled into this kind of bullshit.…
sorry guys, wan't thinking: repost: Blizzard VP confirms 'Titan' project Blizzard senior VP and co-founder Frank Pearce has apparently lent some credence to an alleged leaked roadmap of the World of Warcraft developer's plans. The product calendar referenced a title known as 'Titan', due for a 2013 release. Said Pearce to…
Dunno what to think about it. If some key Blizzard devs pulled in shit loads of money with the deal then i would assume they gonna bail asap and Blizzard is in danger of exploding ala OSI and Bullfrog. If its just corporate thing and they dont start plastering Blizzard logos allover their range then i guess nothing big…
So what about your free time since graduation? So you worked at Blizzard for a month, and they let you go, because you weren't that great at QA? Then you keep applying for another job at Blizzard directly as well as through agencies? That sounds like a great way to get on the nerves of Blizzard's HR, I'd cut that out…
