Blizzard Entertainment will sell BlizzCon tickets on April 24 and April 27 at 7:00pm PDT.
One or two steps not taken care of in advance, or the equivalent of one or two seconds lost before you hit the checkout button might be total disaster.
From a statistics point of view, Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime revealed two years ago that people who did not queue a BlizzCon ticket order within the first 30 seconds, didn't even get a ticket.
Blizzard Entertainment sold over 25,000 tickets in 2010.
Blizzplanet offers some good tips on how to be prepared before the clock hits 7:00pm PDT.
Who says a dud game can't have a video game comeback?
Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky have to be up there. We're lucky and cursed, equally, to have games that can be updated now. For folks old enough to remember the Sega/SNES into PS1 and even 2 eras, if a game came out that was half baked (*cough*Angel of Darkness*cough*) that was it, no redemption. At the same time, having the option for updates shouldn't be an excuse for half assing games.
Speaking at SXSW Sydney, Mike Morhaime shared some insight into his departure from Blizzard Entertainment, the company he co-founded.
“There’s this great Steve Jobs quote I love: If you keep your eye on the profit, you’re going to skimp on the product. But if you keep your eye on the product, the profit will follow, and I really believe that,” Morhaime explained.
I think that basically explains the problem with Blizzard now and clearly goes against high level execs who couldn't give a toss about the games.
Samwise Didier, the legendary art director who helped define Blizzard's art style and is even credited with coining the name "Warcraft" is retiring after 32 years.
Must be something bad happening at MS (going by someone's obscure observation) right guys ? Surely ?
He is fairly young still, so I wonder why he would retire from Blizzard. Maybe a new job, or something behind the scenes.
