Oh no, he will be sorely missed. Just don’t forget the bleach once you’ve shoved his toxic ass down the drain.
If you miss Bobby Kotick, you need to aim better.
At the very least, go to a therapist to get your Stockholm syndrome sorted.
Good riddance.
A solid first step. Sadly, I don’t think it will bring back any semblance the old Blizzard.
I think it’s damaged beyond repair.
Do we really want old Blizzard back?
Personally, with all that we learned about the frat-bro culture there, I don’t want it back. Hell, if it meant people didn’t get abused, I’d erase it.
Agreed, I’d much rather have no Blizzard than the toxic swamp that it was/is(?). I do wish we could have a Blizzard that designed games more like they used to, but minus the toxic culture though, which is what I’m guessing the above comment was meaning as well.
Blizzard North was separate from the Irvine studio, I believe. Their Diablo 3 was in development for a while too.
But yeah, I guess that’s what people mean, the old design philosophy. But I can’t help it now. Old Blizzard seems tainted to me. At least starting from the WC3+WoW era.
I’m not talking Bobbys Blizzard.
I’m talking really old Blizzard, before WoW and Overwatch.
When they where still the good guys in gaming.
Maybe he’ll choke on an olive and his useless life will pass before his eyes just before he gets saved by someone he had once fired.
Perhaps then he would no longer be such a douchebag. I doubt it, though.
