This past weekend saw the first in-person BlizzCon in years, but the show was still oriented around a direction put in place by previous Acti-Blizz boss Bobby Kotick – one very much focused on exploiting dependable moneymakers like World of Warcraft, Overwatch, and Diablo. While those franchises will likely remain Blizzard’s bread and butter in the near term, some changes may be on the way. In a new interview with The Verge, Blizzard president […]
