EPIC SLACKER FAIL

Post by METRIC »

This is from Bobby Kotick speach as DICE this year ( CEO of activisionblizzard )

[12:10] Kotick was also offered the chance to buy Blizzard in the 1990s for $7 million, and then in the early 2000s for $700 million.

[12:10] "I took a look at World of Warcraft and I thought, 'Who would want to buy a subscription to that?'"

[12:10] "So, of course we ended up merging with them in 2008 when they were worth $7 billion."

LMFAO

Quite hard to believe that WoW has actually been going for over half a decade now. Flippin' unbelievable the amount of hours I have wasted in my life playing that game.

I wasn't prepared to pay a monthly subscription to play it. I was playing Silkroads which was free but the servers were near constantly full and FFXI came out and I played that for a few months but didn't have anyone to go around with and everyone seemed to be foreign so I cancelled the subscription.
