Hello and welcome to Decoder. I'm Nilay Patel, editor-in-chief of The Verge, and Decoder is my show about big ideas and other problems. Today I'm talking to Jason Schreier, a Bloomberg journalist and author of the new book, The Rise, Fall, and Future of Blizzard Entertainment. If you don't know Blizzard, you know it's games.
The studio behind Warcraft, Diablo, and Overwatch is more than 30 years old, and it's achieved a kind of legendary status. At the same time, Blizzard has become emblematic of many of the video game industry's worst tendencies. From shareholder pressures to prioritized monetization over creativity, to the deep sexism that still pervades so much of gaming today.
Jason's book is out on October 8th, and it is an incredible, detailed accounting of how Blizzard started, grew into one of the most beloved and most controversial companies in the world of video games, and then eventually became a victim of its own mismanagement.
