Activision-Blizzard seems DONE with Esports. Part of their recent layoffs included nearly EVERYONE from their internal Esports division, despite Microsoft assuring gamers that they'd continue to support Esports. That seems kinda sus... ➡️ Tip Jar and Fan Support: http://ClownfishSupport.com ➡️ Official Merch Store: http://ShopClownfish.com ➡️ Official Website: http://ClownfishGaming.net Additional Context: The landscape of esports, a world where competition thrives and gamers across the globe come together to witness digital prowess at its peak, has hit a significant bump in the road courtesy of Activision-Blizzard. This gaming titan, known for its heavy-hitting franchises like "Overwatch" and "Call of Duty," has reportedly made a move that has sent shockwaves through the esports community: the company has laid off nearly the entirety of its internal esports division. This decision comes amidst assurances from Microsoft, which is in the process of acquiring Activision-Blizzard, that esports would continue to receive support. The apparent contradiction has left many in the gaming world scratching their heads and wondering what the future holds for competitive gaming under these corporate giants. This development is particularly jarring given the role Activision-Blizzard has played in the esports arena. The company has not only fostered competitive leagues around its flagship games but also contributed to the broader ecosystem that supports professional gaming, including players, teams, sponsors, and broadcasters. The sudden scaling back of its internal esports division raises questions about the commitment to maintaining these ecosystems and what this might mean for the future of leagues like the Overwatch League and the Call of Duty League. Microsoft's acquisition of Activision-Blizzard adds another layer of complexity to the situation. When a company of Microsoft's stature steps into the fray, promises of support and growth are often seen as a given. However, the layoffs within the esports division seem to contradict these assurances, leading to speculation and concern among fans and participants alike.

In this week's Roundtable, the squad tackles the contentious release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, scrutinizing Activision's bold pricing strategy for what many see as DLC-sized content. We then shift gears to the evolving stances of various companies regarding live service games, including noting where we are in the trend's hype cycle. The conversation pivots to Valve's unveiling of the Steam Deck OLED and what kind of platform the resurgence of handhelds could morph into. We next cover Roblox's recent earnings release and discuss both the tailwinds and headwinds the company faces. The discussion then takes a serious turn with Blizzard shuttering the Overwatch League due to financial woes, leading us to speculate on the future of other esports leagues and why ESL may be in a superior position. Finally, we examine Ubisoft's announcement of a new skin marketplace for the eight-year-old Rainbow Six: Siege and ponder its potential compared to Steam's established marketplace.

Activision Blizzard's history goes back more than 40 years. Two incredible gaming brands Activision and Blizzard Entertainment merged, bringing together the best creative talent in gaming.

Activision Blizzard Esports also operates Tespa™, the leader in collegiate esports.
