Hello everyone! I'm Hearthstone gossip, sharing Hearthstone Warcraft fun facts for you!
We often hear Activision Blizzard, Activision Blizzard, some old buddies may not know why Blizzard should add a "Activision" 2 words in front. In fact, Activision is also a "long-established" game developer in the game field. The Call of Duty series, the Total War in Rome series, etc. that you've played before are all famous game masterpieces under Activision. The well-known Blizzard Games company is a subsidiary of vivendi group. After 2008, Activision and Vivendi Group merged, and then formed activision Blizzard, a game company, to continue to be responsible for the original Blizzard game business. During the 2008-2022 period, games including World of Warcraft, Diablo 3, Overwatch, Heroes of the Storm, and Hearthstone were operated under the Activision Blizzard umbrella.
In January, it was broadly confirmed that Microsoft was interested in acquiring gaming giant Activision Blizzard for $95 per share, with an all-cash deal worth $68.7 billion. On April 1, April Fool's Day, Blizzard's CEO thundered. Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick is under investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for alleged insider trading. This led to negative news about the game under the CEO for many years. In the past few years of operation, players have still had mixed reviews of it. Especially during each preview of Hearthstone, there will be all kinds of scandals such as X harassment and racial discrimination, and even the Blizzard Carnival online party has decided to stop.
At the same time, cut the power of the heads of the various game departments and suppress the old Blizzard Senators. Invest more resources to develop new projects, but force no progress of any new projects to be released, including overwatch 2 and Diablo 4, two legendary new games; Warcraft HD, in the internal review, knowing that the game is not complete enough, but insists on going straight to the market; the plot of the last 2 versions of World of Warcraft has disgusted players enough, no matter which camp the players are; Heroes of the Storm and Overwatch are also directly ignored and laid flat. These messages are actually experienced by players. This time the ACTI Blizzard CEO was investigated, and the players clapped their hands and applauded, not only to remove the tumor, but also to let the favorite game company turn to a more powerful "dad" and continue to continue.
Think back to a decade ago when Microsoft sent Elope into the hands of Nokia
Machine Empire served as CEO, and then directly acquired Le Nokia, so that the brand completely declined. How do you know each other today? But players still hope that things will go on for the better, and hopefully everything will continue!
