Gay nurse posted lots. But the gavinrad/tarrant trolljob was a thing, irc log, something-something posting pics of Ravs locations, suggest you talked to here more or stalked her more than you let on, Gavinsad.

It's sad that the members of this community, despite all the turnover, are still every bit as fucking retarded as they are gullible.

The French are at fault here because they (Vivendi) sold Blizzard to Kotick in the first place.
The irony here is that this is the better of two timelines, because according to another interview with a Blizzard insider, Microsoft wanted to acquire Blizzard way before Activision (and WoW), around 2002/2003, and force them to make console games for Xbox. It was Bill Roper who poisoned that idea for Microsoft, but he had to die on the sword and leave Blizzard.

That Tigole interview is pretty great.
I forgot about the large groups of people that left Blizzard to make Firefall and WildStar.
Were those actually any good? Seemed like pretty high profile failures.
Stormgate is another more recent failure. Have any games marketed as "ex blizzard devs" been successful?

WildStar... I feel like that game could have been successful but the ideas were drowned out by the incorrect assumption that people crave ball-breakingly hard content.
Blizzard was known for essentially copying existing ideas and giving them a high degree of polish and playability. Then all those devs left and mistakenly tried to copy Blizzard games instead of taking unpolished ideas. So what happens when you base a new game on something that is already highly polished and feels good to play? You're just copying something that already exists and not really adding anything of value to it.
At least that's my view of why these other studios and games never lasted all that long. People were already invested in the thing that already existed that these companies were basically ripping off.

Yeah, which is why they can't even iterate on their own games. Now the polish is gone, too.
