god forbid an adult wants to wind down and start spending more time with his wife and kids. Or that people want to pursue different ideas. Nope. THE END TIMES ARE HERE, BLIZZARD IS DEAD!
...Ok, time to change the ol' Sig ^_^
This time I'll leave you the Links to 3 of my Wordpress Blogs: 1. Serene Adventure 2. Video Games 3. Anime Please subscribe if you like what you see. As a Bonus, I'll throw in my You Tube channel =D
In the tech industry, and video games especially, large corporations are often a place to start for some people. They develop a resume and they learn new abilities then they attempt to chase after their own ideas. Maybe they pitched a game idea to Blizzard and Blizzard wasn't interested in it, so they decided that they would work on it independently now that they are in a financially stable place.
But of course children would rather yell "OMG EVERYONE IS LEAVING, BLIZZARD IS FALLING APART!" because they don't understand the world.
Authors I have enjoyed enough to mention here: JRR Tolkein, Poul Anderson,Jack Vance, Gene Wolfe, Glen Cook, Brian Stableford, MAR Barker, Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle, WM Hodgson, Fredrick Brown, Robert SheckleyJohn Steakley, Joe Abercrombie, Robert Silverberg, the norse sagas, CJ Cherryh, PG Wodehouse, Clark Ashton Smith, Alastair Reynolds, Cordwainer Smith, LE Modesitt, L. Sprague de Camp & Fletcher Pratt, Stephen R Donaldon, and Jack L Chalker.
Kotick is known for wanting to remove the fun out of game development. He succeeded with Blizzard.
Fact (because I say so): TBC > Cata > Legion > ShaLa > MoP > DF > BfA > WoD = WotLK

When you see how streamlined and boring are the last Blizzard games, no surprise people are leaving. You can thank Kotick for that.

If I had to guess, change in the wind.
If a lot of my crew leaves and the new blood and atmosphere aren't to my liking -- I'd leave too.
This is a neutral statement. This is not me saying good or bad things are coming. This is simply work atmosphere and enjoyment.
I don't think it has anything to do with "wow is dying" or anything like that.
"There is a pervasive myth that making content hard will induce players to rise to the occasion. We find the opposite. " -- Ghostcrawler
"The bit about hardcore players not always caring about the long term interests of the game is spot on." -- Ghostcrawler
"Do you want a game with no casuals so about 500 players?"
You assume Pardos company is making games to compete with blizzard.
That's not going to happen
