If you look at one of our exciting franchises, such as World of Warcraft, and you'll be able to see should we decide to make film or were to make a TV series based on WoTLK Classic Gold, that could only enhance the esports, which would further strengthen games, and in turn strengthens the film or television series. For clarity there's nothing we can declare about it at the moment We think of each of these franchises as living ones, being living universes that could be expressed in a variety of styles of expression. If we're doing this right, it will consolidate all the different forms of expression.
Particularly on the esports-inspired vibe. I can't think of a publisher or developer who includes every game that they release include something that is tied to the esports element. World of Warcraft isn't even an idea I'd ever imagined could be an Esport. It's quite good though isn't it?
What do you think esports will be taking off from now? Technology is set to evolve and games, in particular, have periods of waxing and waning. Are you Blizzard ready for this?
I'll specifically mention this particular buy WoTLK Gold league, since I believe it demonstrates at most one of the aspects that we're considering in esports, and that's we're trying to build an environment for esports that is sustainable and accessible. In a world where the community of players in the esport is assured of stability in their activities. The players will be guaranteed minimum wages and be part of teams with an unassailable place within the competition. The players aren't at risk of being dropped, and team owners be aware of the benefits the ecosystem has to offer them. The sponsors determine who they are able to sponsor and also that the teams or players won't disappear overnight.
