Former Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick reportedly pushed the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Overwatch team to deal with a swelling workload born of success by borrowing a page froඣm Call of Duty'🅷s book – staffing up to have separate teams working on separate series entries.

That comes from Bloomberg's Jason Schreier, who is currently teasing tidbits of his new book, On a popular , Schreier answers a question about what exactly happened on the Overwatch team, with several leads, like Blizzard vice presidentꦯ and game director Jeff Kaplan, leaving in a relatively short space of time.

You'll have to buy the book for the lon🧸g version, but the short version is that success meant the team swiftly found itself with too much to do. Alongside running the game, developers had to work on a sequel and help run the blossoming Overwatch l🧸eague. How to best navigate that, though, apparently wasn't something everyone agreed on.

"Kotick's solution to this problem was to suggest that Team 4 hire more people. Hundreds more people, like his Call of Duty factory," Schreier says. "And start a seco꧑nd team to work on OW2 while the old team works on OW1 (or vice versa).

"Kaplan and Chacko Sonny were resistant to this🌄, because they believed pretty strongly in the culture they'd built (more people can sometimes lead to more problems and less effic🐲ient development), and it led to all sorts of problems as the years went on."

The rest, of course, is history. Overwatch 2 eventually released to replace the original, many of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:PvE ideas have since been scal🃏ed back, and the 🌜澳洲幸🐈运5开奖号码历史查询:Overwatch League has essentially been canned as Blizzard decides what to do next. That theme has continued from launch, with various new ideas over 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:monetization and slowly reverting to what they once were. It remains to be seen what's next for the hero shooter, though it appears a Netf♐lix project isn't on the cards – at least, not anymore.

Desperate to get another RTS off the ground, Blizzard developers reportedly pitched Warcraft 4 and a Call of Duty RTS that got shot down.
