I wonder how many people they will fire this time
I kind of wonder why you guys post these updates. Just to let us know rich people are getting richer? Like yay.They don't put any money into development, so it's basically just updates on how much Bobby Kotick is getting this quarter for doing nothing.
Hopefully this means they can pay devs to do quality work. Who am I kidding, they going to lay off anyone doing that and replace them with garbage. Won't complain being shown wrong though.
Ooo, all time high! Time to announce some staff cuts!
Once again, blurring the line between the stock market and the economy.

Cool. Hopefully instead of "ever increasing payout to shareholders" they invest in MORE devs so we don't feel like we're in an unpolished, beta. This is NOT the finished game Blizzard use to put out. Great potential, but buggy beyond. Could be so much better.
So why are so many people here 'upset' or 'complaining' about that? You all are supporting this company and its 'business model'! It's hypocritical to throw your money at the screen and support that 'greedy company' on one side and complain about the same thing on the other! xD
Can we stop posting these click bait articles and get people who don’t understand finance and investing all worked up to bash blizzard?The US equity market has been going up since the FED started easing measures, and got another boost with vaccine news, and now is riding on a potential new stimulus package. All major indexes such as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 have been hitting all time highs over and over again. The broader tech sector has been exploding, against the backdrop of other industries suffering worse repercussions from COVID, with many gaining returns way higher than blitz stock. Other gaming companies are also in the same situation, eg take two is at all time high, EA near all time high - is it because they also released major games lately and “laid off people”? Sure Shadowlands is a success and proves Bliz is not lagging behind, but can we stop drawing random conclusions just to be negative about bliz.
