Blizzard's A Team Downfall from Metzen & Kaplan

[Vaulken]

Thats funny, they got moved from working on their dream hardcore autist mmo because they spent too much time arguing over which game's feature set they should steal to patching up the final details from another team's casual friendly arcade shooter Overwatch. Hahahah

I love how the video gets all emo with Metzen when he talks about the team being so happy when Overwatch released, even though it's a generic casual multiplayer shooter in an oversaturated market that most likely in no way resembles Titan. Honestly i would never think Overwatch is a blizzard game if i didn't know it.

This makes me think some of their people thought Titan was going to be too expensive and risky and forced them to switch to making a new cash cow.

It wasn't about Overwatch becoming the next Blizzard hit, it was pulling the team back together to be able to simply function again and ship another game.

You can tell that the team in the video doesn't work on Warcraft anymore, and the game began going downhill when Titan production began. If only they didn't send all their talent to new titles and actually kept pockets of good developers leading each game to balance out the shit

WoW had run it's course already and they're just keeping it alive because it's an effective money maker.
