    Shall we start the timer until the studio gets closed? That seems to be the regular pattern these days.

      I doubt it. Wow is still a massive cash cow. The other franchises also haven’t been mined of all potential value either.

      Not really, Blizzard has been filling up with unions for years now. Microsoft now has far and away the most union employees of any game company

        They also likely have the most non-union employees of any game company.

      I think Blizzard is one of the more profitable studios under Microsoft so I very much doubt it
