oh well i'll just buy the games from the people when they start a new company. Of course they sold themselves out to begin with so they don't really have room to talk. Nobody forced them to stop being who they were or to sell themselves or to even stay after they were bought out. They can go by themselves and tough it out people who like good games will buy games that aren't big budget games though i know its nice. Like combat mission series i really like there games because they are true to life and realistic even if they aren't the best graphically or what not.
but i will follow the guys who made blizzard what it was because i like the work they do. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Angel Stewart" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, July 02, 2003 10:21 AM Subject: Blizzard no more :( > Well...the Blizzard name just lost its oomph and meaning. > > The 4 co-founders resigned from Vivendi, because they were not going to > have the sort of creative control and say in the direction of their > company that they wanted. > > Plus Vivendi games unit was being sold, and that included Blizzard. > > Here's a snip from an interview: > "Roper was humble when I asked him about analyst speculation that > Monday's departures will result in a lower sale price for Vivendi > Universal Games, saying that wasn't the intent of the Monday's action. > Still, he said, if that does prove true, he hopes it will underline the > importance of the development community. > > "Hopefully, what that will point out to the industry is the fact that > the success of games isn't just the name on the box, the franchise or > that sort of thing - it's the people who make the games," he said.
