Blizzard brought me some of the greatest joys of my childhood. I remember playing warcraft 1 in all it's 8-bit glory, I loved W3, I am playing my way through Diablo 2 again right now. But it just feels like right around the time of WoW they started to change and it became a priority on revenue over producing good games. It seems like that is the inevitable result of any successful creator(s) they labor out of love and a joy for what they make and then once they get big enough MBA, managerial types, that are focused on metrics and numbers come in and like a parasite feed on the success of those who labored for love before eventually leaving it an unrecognizable bloated rotting carcass of it's former self. Is there anyway to build something successfully that contributes to the world without it being subsumed by management culture?
