#I liked HoTS. yeah sure it's a moba. but it's blizzard's take on one

god i miss my obsession with heroes of the storm. i had whole entire headcanons for all the blizz characters and their interactions existing in the nexus. they lived in my head rent-free

i fucking shipped raynor and diablo (Seriously, no joke lol)

feel like microsoft bought blizzard not simply for the freshly cooked cod series but because unlike minecraft, starcraft, warcraft, and somewhat diablo has lend itself to branching out as gaming franchises which warcraft proved by becoming THE mmorpg and then becoming a card game as hearthstone and the only reason it failed as a moba is because it arrived so late to the party that it was 3 months after party took place. unlike minecraft which they turned into minecraft dungeons and FLOPPED HARD.

Honestly, they have a lot of easily monetizeable games, and that's probably why Microsoft was like, 'yeah sure if you're selling Bobby we're buying!', be glad Facebook didn't bite honestly. Though I do sorta mourn HotS, I didn't play it much but I did enjoy it far more than LoL. I kept expecting them to come out with an auto chess game too, but that ship is over the horizon. Then again that hasn't stopped them before, I expect it to be one of the warcraft mobile titles they said they were working on.

But honestly a lot of people forget Blizzard isn't the biggest moneymaker in actiblizz, hell it's probably the least profitable at this point, I bet you Microsoft actually wanted King, the mobile game unit. What was it recently... Take two bought Zynga for some (at the time considered) obscene amount of money? Almost 13 billion? I promise you, western devs are eyeing that gacha money and want any mobile developers for it.

Then again, if Microsoft can actually project manage and maybe give another team a chance to actually develop and complete a Starcraft game or something, that could be neat.

Also, all the people saying that wow subs will be part of Gamepass? You have a better chance of Invincible's reins dropping, they didn't do it for ESO either, don't expect it now.
