That would involve a level of risk that a corporation that bought out a corporation that bought out Blizzard is not allowed to take. But, of course, they will gladly take billions of dollars and light it on fire for shitty decisions like the Metaverse or laying off tens of thousands of their own staff.
It’s not even fair to call them Blizzard any more. They are Microsoft. Any time somebody boots up WoW, it’s Microsoft World of Warcraft. Just like it’s Microsoft Minecraft, Microsoft Call of Duty, Microsoft Fallout, and Microsoft DOOM.
Stop calling them by ancient names like they haven’t been fully absorbed into the mega-corporation. Blizzard is gone, and has been for at least a decade.
