    It is such a hilariously short sighted move on the part of Blizzard.

    Especially because Irvine specifically is such an expensive area

        Blizzard doesn't exist - it's just a brand name owned by Activision now. Every single person who made Warcraft, Starcraft and so on is long gone. Every single one.

        OW has a monthly count of 24 million players but I assume they're still riding on the new release wave. Fortnite has a monthly count of 80 million, Minecraft has 140.

        Leaderships goal is to get the money now, as they plan to golden parachute when Microsoft takes over.

        Right now none of their existing games seem to be geared towards onboarding a new audience

        They are trying to do this entirely with marketing. They have a really heavy focus on tiktok marketing right now but I don't really think it's working out for them.
