Tier 37 end boss is Mickey Mouse
There's that silly persecution complex again. If you really believe that, why are you still playing? And if you're not, why are you hanging around to bother the people who are?

They wouldn't, it would be far easier to poach top talent and make their own game developer division, activision-blizzard is simply one of many game companies and no game companies have rights to specific things like distribution rights to star wars 4-6, fantastic 4/x-men, hulu's giant piece of streaming pie.

I don't think Disney would buy out activision blizzard with the intent to capitalize on WoW. MMO's are not that popular, however they are making a slow and steady comeback it seems.
They would capitalize on Overwatch and Heroes. Both of which would probably be left alone, if anything it would be dumbed down to reach an even greater mass audience. Originally Posted by Vampz

Disney acquiring Nintendo would make a lot more sense.

2017-12-15, 08:03 AM #15DeletedActivision did not buy Blizzard, they both merged. So they have as much a vote on things as Blizzard has. If Disney where to buy Blizzard they would have to buy Activision as well. Originally Posted by Firatha

First of all, Disney doesnt like to associate itself with violent video games so if it happened it would not be incorporated into its other character base like the Star Wars franchise which is FAR more widely accepted and family friendly. That would mean that its value is far lower in the bigger market place but the entire business would sell for about the same amount. which would you see as a bigger profit maker in the long run: Star Wars and its endless amount of toys that moms will buy for there kids without worry or an mmo that has too many horror stories of addiction and the other me too late to the party games like hearthstone, Heroes of the storm and overwatch. Starcraft is a dying franchise and Diablo 3 has gone about as far as that type of gameplay can go, Call of duty is looking more like a generic war shooter with nothing new to offer and Destiny already disappointed gamers with the first release. Disney would be better off getting the rights to Harry Potter or some other company that actually knows how to make a decent movie... Originally Posted by fenixazul

Erm... EA and Disney aren't affiliated at all? EA has license to make Star Wars games but that's it. If Disney bought Blizzard EA would have exactly zero to do with that. Originally Posted by Tromage
