How realistic could this scenario be in our universe? If we could pull off some public fund, raise money via kickstarter n shit and buy out the company. A company owned by players, utopic AF.

Blizzard is worth billions. Only huge corporations have the dough to buy Blizzard.

For example, the company everyone praises that got bungie out of activision.
is the company making diablo immortal, a company which makes tons of mobile games.

I mean... who's to say that there aren't at least some WoW players that are billionaires IRL. But even then I doubt that they would want to invest in a company that is already a shadow of its former self.

Even if they did... would ActiBlizz even sell it? Would they sell the IPs? Originally Posted by GreenJesus

Remember when Bungie bought themselves out from under MS they had to leave Halo behind. What would Blizzard be without Starcraft, Warcraft and Diablo?

A. Hilariously not happening.
B. The community would have Blizz bankrupt within a year.FFXIV - Maduin (Dynamis DC)

I mean... theoretically? Yeah its possible... realistically? You'd have a better chance of fund raising enough money to buy the Catholic Church, unless your close circle of friends includes Warren Buffet, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg Originally Posted by pally2

I have seen many lore ideas, suggestions for Wow from the wow community throughout the years and all I can say that I am glad that activision took over

Tried to find a quick Alleria laughing image but failed. So I guess I'll drop the closest I could think of:
The Void. A force of infinite hunger. Its whispers have broken the will of dragons... and lured even the titans' own children into madness. Sages and scholars fear the Void. But we understand a truth they do not. That the Void is a power to be harnessed... to be bent by a will strong enough to command it. The Void has shaped us... changed us. But you will become its master. Wield the shadows as a weapon to save our world... and defend the Alliance!

It's a publicly traded company, so you're talking about convincing shareholders to go for divesting themselves of a property worth millions/year. Not likely.

Simply not worth it: before you waste money for a company like blizzard, you should rather buy a gaming company that's worth of their product. I rather invest in CDProject Red or a new company than giving money to activision. Originally Posted by pally2
