Blizzard have been the connoisseurs of PC gaming for more than a decade now. They’ve made countless classics over the years and have always been counted as one of the best developers out there. And they’re probably the only developers who are PC-exclusive and still minting money; anyone who knows how much they make from World of Warcraft will know that what i just said, is an obvious understatement. They must have made enough money by now to start their own country. And they don’t need to go out of their way to make this happen. They release one game in 3-4 years and still make more than most development teams shelling out 2 games in a year. It is this money that seems to be getting over their heads

Creativity works better in the indie space because the budgets, pressures, and expectations aren't the same.
it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.
This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.
