Activision Blizzard Doubling Down on Diablo, Warcraft IPs Amidst Changing Market

Their stock price seems to be contrary to that statement @bug .

To have your stock price lose nearly half its value isn't exactly good.

I think Blizzard could have great success dumping WoW in favor of a completely new WoW-clone with a modern engine and development. It's a great game, hands down, there's a reason it stayed alive for so long... but it doesn't keep up today when players expect the performance and graphical immersion of modern games.

They don't really have to do anything different, just an updated RPG, with a fresh story-- that isn't World of Warcraft.

It isn't, but the graph over the last 5 years tells a different story

WoW in the StarCraft universe. That will keep them running for the next 15 years.

Looks like Blizzard is the new Apple. A shadow of its former self.

Who cares? Game developers have come and gone. Gaming is still alive and (mostly) well.
