Agreed.
Yas, I hope this does a lot to make the industry wary and motivate other studios to boots down the house to protect themselves against the depravity of C-Suite Lobotomites!
Finally some positive news in 2026 for game developers.
If the whole industry woke up and went union things would really change.
All tech companies would implode rapidly if all their talent evaporated and they couldn’t hire anyone useful. AI isn’t enough on its own yet to be a solution, and right now is the best time to do it before it might be too late.
Good. More of that. MUCH more of that!
Between this and the return of HOTS I’d say things are looking good for Blizzard
they should rectify the diablo franchise.
