    Never actually seen WoW referred to as Microsoft’s before.

    I did know it was a subsidiary of a subsidiary, just feels odd to see it referred to this way, and not as Blizzard’s.

      It’s Bloomberg, the only thing that matters to them is which stock ticker is attached to the news.

      Yeah it’s weird, but technically Microsoft didn’t even acquire it until October 2023. Was WoW/ActiBlizz in the news in the 8 months since?

        Yeah, they were. Predatory monetization continuing mostly.

      Honestly as someone who plays WoW it just generally feels like the developers are in a better environment now than they were a few years back.
