Xbox CFO Says Xbox Console Audience Isn’t “Growing That Fast”; MS Wants to Drive High-Margin Sales on PlayStation & Nintendo

Microsoft has once again reiterated that the acquisition of Activision-Blizzard-King was mostly about securing a foothold in the mobile market. The highly-debuted megadeal between Microsoft and Activision-Blizzard-King was finally completed last month. After having announced the merger in January of 2022, the deal became a rather long journey with plenty of discussions, regulator blockings, court hearings, and whatnot. While many have argued that the purchase was about obtaining IP, Xbox head Phil Spencer has also said that the main reason for the deal was about mobile gaming. Yesterday, at the Wells Fargo TMT Summit Conference, Xbox Chief Financial Officer Tim […]

For a long time, the World of Warcraft vanilla experience was relegated to private servers (such as Nostalrius, which was shut down) until Blizzard finally decided to accept the community's feedback and create World of Warcraft Classic. Launched in August 2019, WoW Classic turned out to be a big success and is considered to be nearly as popular as the modern version of the MMORPG. As such, Blizzard has continued to dedicate resources to this version of the game, advancing Classic through the various expansions: The Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King. At BlizzCon 2023, it was announced […]

Blizzard Boss Open to 4-Hour Games and 400-Hour Ones, Microsoft Brings New Possibilities

Blizzard Entertainment is now part of the larger Xbox family following Microsoft’s $69 billion purchase of Activision Blizzard, but what does that mean for the future? 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 […]

World of Warcraft on Consoles Is Still a Possibility: ‘Of Course We Talk About It, We’re Microsoft Now’

Over the near-twenty years that World of Warcraft has been on the market, the topic of a console port has come up again and again, only to never materialize.

While Longdale didn't make any promises, she expressed genuine interest and pointed out […]
