I didn’t say it was all Activisions fault. Blizzard had to be the kind of company that would join forces with Activision for the merger to happen. I’m well aware of the smaller details.

I’m saying the Blizzard that created the IPs people love, has long been dead (in that the people who made those things are no longer in positions to do so again).

What’s left, is “a corpse being puppeted by Activision” in that actiblizz is lead by the type of people and decision-making that Activision is a lot more known for.

It’s a really short way to express to people who still have nostalgia goggles for Blizzard, that the things that allowed them to make good things, are gone. Replaced by profit motivated suits that have no respect for art.

Blizzard doesn’t need saving. It’s a rotting corpse of a brand. Remove activision, and you still have just a rotting corpse.
