I still really enjoy World of Warcraft, but man alive, do I dislike Blizzard.

According to Startup Sapience:

Blizzard Entertainment brought to the world the once most popular online PC game, World of Warcraft. However, the game started to lose steam in the 2010s and Blizzard started creating other games to sustain their revenue stream. Let’s dive in to see what happened.

It all started in 1991 when three friends started Silicone & Synapse, a game software developer. Initially, they were working to support game releases on other consoles and computers but that changed in 1994. They renamed to Blizzard Entertainment and started releasing their own game titles. One of the first games released was the Warcraft, Orcs and Humans. And it was well received by gamers, who bought over 100,000 copies in the first year. It is a real time strategy game that involves collecting resources, building towns, assembling an army and defeating the opponent. The game was adapted on the big screen, with the release of the Warcraft movie in 2016.
