De fleste ville nok sige at Blizzard har ændret sig ret meget i løbet af de sidste par år. Blandt andet er præsident Mike Morhaime trådt tilbage, og er nu erstattet af J. Allen Brack, og derudover fokuserer Blizzard mindst lige så meget på mobiltitler i disse dage via Diablo Immortal og Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, som deres gamle hovedplatform - PC.
Men én tidligere designer siger nu alligevel, at stemningen faktisk er den samme i studiet. I en AMA på Wowhead fortæller tidligere designer John Staats, at Blizzard forbliver det samme sted:
"Look at the theories about Blizzard now. People think "Blizzard is different now" because they've had a changeover. It's just so not true. J isn't even the CEO, you notice, he's the company's president. But people who don't know the difference cannot be convinced otherwise. J Allen Brack got a lot of heat for the esports protesting controversy. It's a perfect example of him taking the blame for what was ultimately a lawyer-driven decision. People who weren't in Blizzard's meetings about how Blizzard dealt with the protesters fill in the blanks them with theories that this J's new title has changed the company."
Dog er Blizzard en anderledes udvikler og udgiver i disse dage, synes du ikke?
