I'm honestly so sick in my stomach at how disgusting Blizzard has become. Making shit expansions, sacking thousands of employees, refusing to listen to feedback, and now avoiding all taxes.
They are #2(feel better kiddies?) in tax avoidance out of all companies in the world. I really have no respect for them anymore this expansion. They are literally worse than EA now. Go ahead and ban me and close the thread shills like every other thread made these days that talks badly of Blizzard. The moderators here make me sick also.

Blizzard payed ZERO taxes and actually received money from the government INSTEAD

How simple minded you must be to think this is Blizzards doing instead of the people up top at Activision.

How simple minded you must be to think Blizzard is responsible for NONE of the problems of the company. You shills are so amazing, you will find anything to think Blizzard did nothing wrong. It's ALWAYS Activision right??? lmao The Blizzard you love is gone, it's not there anymore. All the original founders of Blizzard entertainment have left already.

Ending any statement with "lmao" just proves my point. You're going to have to try harder. Calling you for what you are hardly makes me a shill, I have about 2 hours logged into WoW in the last 2 weeks.

Much as I hate Blizzard these days @Dakhath is right. Originally Posted by KronoFett

While I don't think it's that big of a deal, I do find it interesting how with so many people they put all of the blame on Activision and none of it on Blizzard when it comes to financial things. Blizzard didn't just start trying to make money because of Activision.

I mean, it's legal so of course they'll do it. It's only really 'avoidance' when illegal means are employed. Originally Posted by KronoFett

Then what are you doing here if you hate it so much? Originally Posted by KronoFett

Unless you think they also handle the finances of the company for some reason."El Psy Kongroo!" Hearthstone Moderator

Not only are you wrong in thinking Blizzard is at fault here, but your main point is wrong as well. Just a quick scan shows at least two other companies that had a lower effective tax rate. Try harder next time. Originally Posted by KronoFett

Wow, this is a new low for ATVI - although they are far from being the only billion dollars company that engages in such @#$&ty behaviour. Everyone is doing it, with Google and Microsoft at the forefront - and governments all around the world let them go away with it - but having free education or healthcare for everyone means being entitled
That being said, I think that this thread goes in the general videogames forum imo. Originally Posted by trimble

Literally only one of those 4 things is Activision actually. Originally Posted by KronoFett

Other 3 are absolutely on Blizzard.

You people are so blinded it is amazing. You are literally okay with a multi-billion dollar company spending less on taxes than yourself at work every year. It's not ethical, none of the money they are making is going back into the country. Instead, the country is giving them money simply because they use tax havens. I mostly made this post to see people shill exactly like you always do. I can't believe the posters, there is a reason the internet makes fun of mmo-champions forums.

I don't think anyone said that at all. Originally Posted by KronoFett

There are plenty of things to dump on Blizzard for. This is not one of them.

I don't know anything about this, but all I see when I click that is Amazon, who makes like 10x more money than ActBlizz, did it too.
So its really something to be bragging about, not condemning, unless you also hate all big business, which I could understand.
I don't know why anyone cares though.
Its not like they stole from some charity or something.
The government is the most irresponsible use of money conceivable.
The fact that 50 percent of the company's US earnings were supposed to go to the government is ridiculous.
I don't know anything about this, as I said, but if that is actually something the government expects to get then this country is a joke.Owner of ONEAzerothTV

Activision higher ups will manage things like this.
Again nobody is saying Blizzard don't do anything wrong. Because they have done quite a lot. Just this is not one of those situations.
