First of all, blizzard
Blizzard is a game manufacturer, producing world-famous IP, such as Warcraft, World of Warcraft, StarCraft, Diablo, Watch Pioneer and so on. And Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard this time is also regarded as the acquisition of two companies, and a * * * has obtained various products of the two companies. Microsoft has been expanding its game business and is one of the winners of the console war. What Microsoft lacks is Blizzard's online games, which are popular all over the world. The acquisition of Microsoft is also to make up for some defects.
Second, World of Warcraft is basically unaffected.
Microsoft will definitely not dissolve the Warcraft team directly. World of Warcraft will still be developed with the original team operation, so the impact on World of Warcraft will not be great. Maybe changing the leadership will make World of Warcraft a better place. Blizzard is already a mature company, what Microsoft can bring is the change of leadership, and the technical improvement of Blizzard is not great. The most basic thing is to keep the status quo. Microsoft acquired Blizzard mainly to improve its own puzzle.
Third, the acquisition of Blizzard will not affect the mainframe war.
Now, Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo continue to compete in the mainframe field. Some of the games that Microsoft acquired from Blizzard can't be monopolized on a certain platform, and they all need to be spread on a large scale. Besides, Nintendo plays games too professionally. As long as Nintendo continues to maintain, no company can beat him. The performance of ns is not strong, but it is with Nintendo's absolute monopoly that it occupies three points of the world in the console market. Microsoft's acquisition of Blizzard is not for the host market. Its goal is still to focus on the PC market or the mobile market, and its opponent is Google.
