Blizzard admitting they may not make giant piles of cash with every title. "Maybe we can be what we want to be and inspire groups around the company to experiment, get creative, think outside the box and take chances on things that just might thrill people," Metzen said. "Maybe they don't have to be these colossal, summer blockbuster-type products." its a good thing this comment occurred 45 days before the next investor call. let's see if someone brings it up. if they do Kotick's reaction will be watched carefully by every ATVI shareholder. Will Kotick respond by lowering Blizzard's autonomy? or will Kotick just let them do their thing and be happy for the inexplicable cult-like following Blizzard enjoys. ( inexplicable to non-players who've never experienced a Blizzard masterpiece ). Fewer Clients? Less Money? it didn't work for Jerry Maguire will Kotick let it happen for Blizzard? the next ATVI investor call will be some epic theatre. | ||

They would have taken a safer bet doing world of starcraft instead. | ||

They make great games but we haven't seen any new material from the studio in terms of franchises for so long. No kidding, Starcraft is in fact their youngest franchise. At this point I'm not expecting anything new, just anxiously hoping LotV comes soon. Also, I want Lost Vikings III! | ||

Especially if they're citing a lack of passion as one of their reasons. Wouldn't want them to create a whole new franchise with new characters that are half arsed. Might not be well received. Should just stick with what they know, considering that they are apparently already struggling to meet deadlines (WoD release) | ||

The only big multiplayer genre they haven't touched is FPS, the most oversaturated genre in the market. | ||

I know I will. highest quality RTS release since 2010s WoL. no other RTS comes even close. now if u have 100 million USD rolling around in your pocket and want to bank roll an RTS... i won't have time to play it though, i'm spending all my time getting my skills up in C&C4. | ||

Didn't they trademark something called "Overwatch" a while ago? I heard something about that, and remembered thinking "that doesn't really sound like a Blizzard-ish type of name." Sounds more like an action-packed FPS or something similar. After years of the same franchises over and over again, it would be an incredible breath of fresh air for a new and different IP from Blizzard. | ||
