So I'm seeing a lot of angry comments and videos about how the evil Activision is ruining Blizzard. I'd like to take a look at the whole thing a bit dispassionately... Fun analysis ahead! (long thread)

Especially as I was positive about career crossroads, thought that HoTS made sense and specifically went out of my way to explain how the marketing & bizdev people aren’t evil vampires. I think your conflating coverage with going with the crowd.

Maybe I am. I admit I have a bit of an overload of anger input with all of this. My bad if I'm lumping you in with the more... colourful YouTubers!

I think there's a lot of selective emphasis in those discussions; Schreier's article clearly point out devs are hiring, which is a positive sign. And with no releases, reducing support staff makes sense, & doing it with cash incentives rather than layoffs is really positive too.

Also, the fact they were not forced to release D4 by Activision, to me, means the influence of Activision is not the evil one we're hearing about, if it exists at all. So I don't see what's left beyond vague feelings... and click baity anger mongering. :(
