Manage episode 446524117 series 3377686
Today's ep is the first and last edition of the Down Round Book club. We're talking about Play Nice: The Rise, Fall, and Future Of Blizzard Entertainment, by Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier. It documents the story of Blizzard Entertainment, the developer behind WarCraft, Diablo and StarCraft which is as of last year a subsidiary of Microsoft.
James read it last week and felt it hit on some interesting Down Round areas, namely:
- The evolution of monetisation
- Why eSports was never going to work
- The tension between art and commerce in creative businesses
- Laundry powder, which we discuss for at least 5 minutes
