last year, Which is when they announced overwatch 2 I think.
I think Overwatch 2 was a 2019 announcement. But basically it really showcases that for the better part of a decade, Blizzard has not made a single new game. They have updated existing games with a new character here, balance changes there, but have not been able to produce a full retail product in years. Wow expansions are technically boxed products, but are still just updates to existing games. For a studio as massive as Blizzard, they have very little actual output, which makes you wonder just where the fuck all the money is going?
All those dev teams, and the only thing they have to show for it is some patches on existing titles? EA would have shut the studio down long ago.
At very least they need a dramatic restructing and they need someone holding them accountable. I think WoW has been a cash cow enough that Activision has basically ignored the lack of actual production happening over there. But after this scandel, I think they are going to start looking at Blizzard and ask what they are doing when there are no games coming out of the studio whatsoever.
