Pondering the Cataclysm with Blizzard's J.Allen Brack

To make sense of everything that’s happening in Azeroth–and see how the development team is feeling with Cataclysm just around the corner–we sat down with J. Allen Brack (Blizzard’s Production Director) earlier this week to find out how everything’s progressing, where it’s all headed, and why he just can’t stop making boxes light up.

An Update on This Year’s BlizzCon and Blizzard’s 2024 Live Events

Blizzard writes: "After careful consideration over the last year, we at Blizzard have made the decision not to hold BlizzCon in 2024. This decision was not made lightly as BlizzCon remains a very special event for all of us, and we know many of you look forward to it. While we’re approaching this year differently and as we have explored different event formats in the past, rest assured that we are just as excited as ever to bring BlizzCon back in future years."

Diablo 4 storefront being a cash grabbing shitshow does unironically attest to that, kudos.

Microsoft needs to be guiding Blizzard to be what it USED to be, not allowing it to continue to be the greedy bastardization of itself that it has become.

XiNatsuDragnel13d ago (Edited 13d ago )

Okay i will be interested if they become old Blizzard but might as well be dead.

Rynxie12d ago

They will never be old blizzard. Most of all the OG's left from developers to those on the top (even some decision making folks left).

Vits13d ago

Shame most of the people that made Blizzard what they were, have already left a while ago.

ApocalypseShadow13d ago

I was about to say this. How can they be blizzard when they're no longer blizzard from yesteryear?

blacktiger12d ago

Rare was the thing I lost heart

victorMaje12d ago

Exactly. Blizzard hasn’t been Blizzard for a long time.
Oh how the mighty have fallen.

Knightofelemia13d ago

Blizzard is not the same Blizzard like it use to be.

PassNextquestion12d ago

Were you expecting Microsoft to hire everyone that had left Blizzard long before they purchased the company...

Microsoft has let the Blizzard company they purchased continue to be the Blizzard company they purchased.

thesoftware73012d ago

Wow, PassNextquestion,

You fully understand what that saying means, unlike some people on here who just have to say negative garbage talk.

When someone says, "Just let *blank* be *blank*, "they are just letting them operate how they operate.

It's pretty much how Sony "let Bungie be Bungie."

This comment section is full of outright haters, but you have to "let N4G be N4G"

GamerRN12d ago

This site leans so heavily in one direction...

BISHOP-BRASIL12d ago

I don't think people commenting are necessarily blaming MS for anything here, this is just collective longing for what Blizzard/Vivendi was before Activision's meddling.
