Since the announcement by Blizzard that players would be forced to reveal their real full name on their forums, the Blizzard community has gone nuts making thousands of posts on the topic and litres of digital ink have been spent on various gaming sites criticising the decision; That includes IncGamers.com and many others.
Now a new rumour has appeared that Blizzard employees really are quite pissed off by this decision, and it might even be completely outside of Blizzard's hands.
Former Blizzard president Mike Ybarra recently suggested an interesting concept that has sparked a debate among gamers - the idea of being able to tip developers after completing a game.
If I had a 100% way to be sure that this money would go to a fund or a reserve dedicated only to the guys who develop the games, be them designers, artists, programmers and so on, I could think about it.
But we all know that this 'tip' would only end up in a publisher's CEO pocket to buy a new yacht, so, no, I ain't tipping anyone anytime soon on this industry
So they eventually don't pay their workers and depend on our tips to pay them like the case with waiters!
Is this a joke? How about the big wigs giving up some of their pay for their hard working developers.
good god. The devs are not baristas dude. Total 1% ideals. Fing Chadosaurus.
Blizzard and NetEase have announced that Blizzard's games will return to mainland China under a new publishing agreement.
Top executives including games boss Sean Shoptaw have also been promoted…
Activision vs Infinity Ward anyone?
now Activision vs Blizzard?
That man... is a disgrace to humankind, also he's probably the most greedy T*** out there...
And I thought Activision was going to have 0 control over Blizzard.... *cough*
If it is out of blizzard's hands then we have a problem people.
I think this whole thing is ridiculous and the unhappy employees should have announced their dislike towards this before it got out óf hand. Then again, who knows what went on behind the scenes. Maybe they didn't have much of a say.
We should start a "I Hate Bobby Kotick Club"...
