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)
The Activision news is all covering a recent era that’s early 2018 onwards. So there’s no way that would impact D4. All news has pointed to this being a very recent thing. So talking about D4 basically isn’t relevant to it.

I disagree. These changes have been happening in 2018, and Acti could absolutely have said, a few months prior to BlizzCon, "well fuck this, you've been working on D4 for FOUR fucking years, you announce something at BlizzCon and release in 2019, and that's it!". They didn't.

And the "worst" part is, demanding that a game limit its dev time to 4 or 5 years (which is what D4 would have gotten) is beyond reasonable! It would be a normal corporate decision. The fact Blizz is getting another year for it (at least) is a sign they are not being "taken over"
