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)

I think the issue that’s being misconstrued by passionate fans is the growing influence of activision as elaborated by the kotaku article. Bellular did a great video on it but the problem is if activision and finance are becoming more prevalent in decisions...

then what does that mean for possible upcoming expansions/games/IP’s.

Did you read the thread? How do you think the evil Activision influence would manifest (beyond the vague "they're being evil")? Don't you think they'd demand game releases for income? Or getting people fired? Blizz has 150 job openings atm, most of them dev team positions.

And I LOVE
@BellularGaming, he's one of the hardest working YouTubers there is. But he focuses on WoW, and BFA is rough, and I feel he's been riding the anger wave a bit. It makes tons of views, but I don't think he's looking at the things I'm discussing here super objectively...5 replies 0 retweets 28 likes -

My goal is to confront the most negative stuff head on, which you'll def. see in video marketing, and then provide a more reasonable take that's focused on specifics & details, not broad narratives.

Anyhow, likely of (mild) interest to both of you, my next video is going to be a discussion on positivity, negativity, narratives & the state of communication in <currentyear>. Kinda aware that I get slammed for being too positive and too negative in equal measure...
