It feels like they've lost their way
The people at Blizzard are great. There's a lot of passionate folks, and they're all very nice.
There isn't as much high-level planning for technology. Career opportunities are basically nonexistent. They're opaque about pay. A lot of executive shenanigans with stock buybacks and such, which leads me to believe that games are secondary. A total lack of communication about plans for the company or addressing issues of pay. Since I've started, a lot of cool perks have been walked back.
Get control of yourselves, Activision, and get back to what you once were: an innovator in the gaming industry.
