Blizzard Entertainment Formerly Name: Silicon & Synapse, Inc (1991-1993) Chaos Studios, Inc (1993-1994) Company Profile: Developer & Publisher Company Type:: Private Company (1991-1994) Subsidiary (1994) Parent Company: Davidson & Associates (1994-1996) CUC Software (1996-1997) Cendant Software (1997-1998) Havas Interactive (1998-2001) Vivendi Universal Games (2001-2008) Activision Blizzard (2008) Headquarters: Irvine, California, USA Founded: February 1991 Founder: Michael Morhaime, Frank Pearce, Allen Adham Fate: Active Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. is an American video game developer and publisher based in Irvine, California . The company was founded in February 1991 as Silicon & Synapse, Inc. by three graduates of the University of California, Los Angeles : Michael Morhaime , Frank Pearce and Allen Adham. The company originally concentrated on the creation of game ports for other studios' games before beginning development of their own software in 1993, with games like Rock n' Roll Racing and The Lost Vikings . In 1993, the company became Chaos Studios, Inc. In early 1994, they were acquired by distributor Davidson & Associates for $6.75 million ($13.3 million today). Shortly after this point, they were contacted by a Florida company, Chaos Technologies, who wanted the company to pay US$100,000 (equivalent to $197,441 in 2022) to keep the name. Not wanting to pay that sum, the executives decided to change the studio's name to "Ogre Studios" by April 1994. However, Davidson & Associates did not like this name, and forced the company to change it. According to Morhaime, Adham began running through a dictionary from the start, writing down any word that seemed interesting and passing it to the legal department to see if it had any complications. One of the first words they found to be interesting and cleared the legal check was "blizzard", leading them to change their name to " Blizzard Entertainment " by May 1994. Shortly thereafter, Blizzard Entertainment shipped their breakthrough hit Warcraft: Orcs & Humans , a real-time strategy (RTS) game in a high-fantasy setting. In 1996, Blizzard Entertainment acquired Condor Games of San Mateo, California , which had been working on the action role-playing game (ARPG) Diablo for Blizzard at the time. Condor was renamed Blizzard North , with Blizzard 's main headquarters in Irvine renamed to Blizzard South to distinguish the two. Diablo was released at the very start of 1997 alongside Battle.net , a matchmaking service for the game. Blizzard North developed the sequel Diablo II (2000), and its expansion pack Lord of Destruction (2001). Following these releases, a number of key staff from Blizzard North departed for other opportunities, such as Bill Roper . Blizzard's management made the decision August 2005 to consolidate Blizzard North into Blizzard South, relocating staff to the main Blizzard offices in Irvine, and subsequently dropping the "Blizzard South" name. On February 21, 1996, CUC International announced its intention to acquire Davidson & Associates (including Blizzard Entertainment ) and Sierra On-Line , two American video game companies, in a US$ 1.8 billion stock swap . The deal closed on July 24, 1996. Subsequently, following the acquisitions, CUC International established CUC Software (later known as Vivendi Universal Games) around the Torrance, California -based operations of Davidson & Associates to oversee the new video game properties. On May 28, 1997, CUC International announced plans to merge with Hospitality Franchise Systems to create a single, "one-stop" entity. The merger was finalized in December that year and created Cendant . As a result of the merger, CUC Software was renamed Cendant Software. On November 20, 1998, French media company Havas (acquired by Vivendi earlier that year) announced that it would acquire Cendant Software for $800 million in cash, with up to an additional $200 million contingent on its performance. Subsequently, the division was renamed Havas Interactive. On May 16, 2001, Havas Interactive was renamed Vivendi Universal Interactive Publishing, while Havas itself became Vivendi Universal Publishing. The new name was likely due to the merger between Universal and Vivendi; the company also received ownership of properties from Universal Interactive Studios . Under the new name, the company was split into two parts: Vivendi Universal Interactive Publishing North America and Vivendi Universal Interactive Publishing International, both of which took responsibility for their respective publishing regions. On November 13, 2001, both parts were streamlined under the name Vivendi Universal Games. In 2002, Blizzard was able to reacquire rights for three of its earlier Silicon & Synapse titles, The Lost Vikings , Rock n' Roll Racing and Blackthorne , from Interplay Entertainment and re-release them for the Game Boy Advance handheld console. In 2004, Blizzard opened European offices in the Paris suburb of Vélizy , Yvelines, France. With the success of World of Warcraft , Blizzard Entertainment organized the first BlizzCon fan convention in October 2005 held at the Anaheim Convention Center . The inaugural event drew about 6,000 people and became an annual event which Blizzard uses to announce new games, expansions, and content for its properties. On July 9, 2008, Activision merged with Vivendi Games , culminating in the inclusion of the Blizzard brand name in the title of the resulting new holding company, Activision Blizzard. On October 3, 2018, Mike Morhaime announced his plans to step down as the company president and CEO while remaining an advisor to the company; he formally left on April 7, 2019. Morhaime was replaced by J. Allen Brack, the executive producer on World of Warcraft . Frank Pearce announced he would be stepping down as Blizzard 's Chief Development Officer on July 19, 2019, though will remain in an advisory role similar to Morhaime. Michael Chu, lead writer on many of Blizzard 's franchises including Diablo , Warcraft , and Overwatch , announced he was leaving the company after 20 years in March 2020. On January 22, 2021, Activision transferred Vicarious Visions over to Blizzard Entertainment , stating that the Vicarious Visions team had better opportunity for long-term support for Blizzard . Vicarious had been working with Blizzard for about two years prior to this announcement on the planned remaster of Diablo II , Diablo II: Resurrected , and according to Brack, it made sense to incorporate Vicarious into Blizzard for ongoing support of the game and for other Diablo games including Diablo IV . Vicarious was completely merged into Blizzard by April 12, 2022. Blizzard acquired Proletariat , the developers of Spellbreak , in June 2022 as to help support World of Warcraft . The 100-employee studio remained in Boston but will shutter Spellbreak as they move onto Warcraft . Activision Blizzard was the subject of a lawsuit from the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing in July 2021, asserting that for several years the management within Blizzard as well as Activision promoted a "frat boy" atmosphere that allowed and encouraged sexual misconduct towards female employees and discrimination in hiring practices. As a result of the California lawsuit and of delays and release issues with their more recent games, Activision Blizzard's stock faced severe pressure. Subsequently, Microsoft seized the opportunity to become one of the largest video game companies in the world and announced its intent to acquire Activision Blizzard and its subsidiaries, including Blizzard , for $68.7 billion in January 2022. This exchange marks the largest acquisition in tech history, surpassing the $67 billion Dell-EMC merger from 2016. The deal closed on October 13, 2023, and Activision Blizzard moved into the Microsoft Gaming division. While part of the larger Microsoft Gaming division, Blizzard Entertainment retains its function as the publisher of games developed by their studios. On January 25, 2024, Blizzard President Mike Ybarra and Chief Design Officer Allen Adham announced they would be leaving the company. On January 29, 2024, Johanna Faries, the former general manager of the Call of Duty series, was named Blizzard Entertainment 's new president, taking office on February 5. Blizzard Entertainment hosts annual gaming conventions for fans to meet and to promote their games: the first BlizzCon was held in October 2005 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California , which is where all of their conventions have been held since. BlizzCon features game-related announcements, previews of upcoming Blizzard Entertainment games and content, Q&A sessions and panels, costume contests, and playable demos of various Blizzard games. Blizzard WorldWide Invitationals were events similar to BlizzCon held in South Korea and France between 2004 and 2008. Wikipedia contributors. "Blizzard Entertainment."

Company Structure Subsidiaries: Blizzard Albany Proletariat Key People: Johanna Faries (president) As with most studios with multiple franchises, Blizzard Entertainment has organized different departments to oversee these franchises. The original three teams were: Team 1 manages the StarCraft property. The team also oversaw the development of the StarCraft spin-off Heroes of the Storm . Team 1 also included the Classics Team to work on remastering Blizzard's earlier properties for modern computers, which have included StarCraft: Remastered and Warcraft III: Reforged . The Classic Games team was disbanded around August 2020, about eight months after Warcraft III: Reforged was released. Team 2 continues to manage and create content for World of Warcraft . Team 3 oversees the Diablo franchise. Since 2004, two new teams were created: Team 4 was created around 2007 to work on Blizzard's first new IP since World of Warcraft , that being Titan . Titan had development difficulties near 2013, and most of Team 4 was reallocated to the other teams, but the remaining members, led by Jeff Kaplan, revised Titan 's concept into Overwatch , which remains in Team 4's hands since its release in 2016. Team 5 was created in 2008 to explore smaller games that could fit into Blizzard's portfolio. This resulted in the creation of Hearthstone , a collectible card game based on the Warcraft property, which became Team 5's priority. Games Developed and Published by Blizzard Entertainment

Fellow Traveller Games Formerly Name: Surprise Attack Pty Ltd (2011-2013) Surprise Attack Games (2013-2018) Company Profile: Marketing Consultancy (2011-2013) Video Game Publisher (2013) Company Type:: Public Company Parent Company: N/A Headquarters: Australia Founded: October 2011 Founder: Chris Wright Fate: Active Surprise Attack Pty Ltd, trading as Fellow Traveller Games , is an Australian video game publisher. Chris Wright founded the company in 2011 as a marketing consultancy. It announced publishing label Surprise Attack Games in 2013 and relaunched the company as Fellow Traveller Games in 2018. Surprise Attack was founded in October 2011 by Chris Wright, who previously worked as marketing director for Blue Tongue Entertainment . Wright also assessed game loan applications for Film Victoria , where he noticed that many developers did not consider marketing. This led to founding Surprise Attack as a marketing consultancy firm for independent game developers. In November, Wright commented that many games were being released "without edit" for 15-year-olds in Australia that were restricted in the United States and Europe. He believed that the Australian Classification Board needed an "R18+ rating" for games, which legislation had recently approved implementation for. In July 2013, it launched publishing label Surprise Attack Games providing funding, marketing and distribution as Australia's first independent indie game publisher. In July 2018, the company relaunched as Fellow Traveller Games , focusing on unusual narrative games. When Kotaku Australia enquired about the changed direction from showcasing Australian games, Wright stated they realised that while the industry appreciated their local publishing, consumers were not interested in where a game was made. He believed an identity with an established flavour or style of game is needed to stand out in the market, noting that 3-4% of the Steam purchases were Australian. In April 2019, Fellow Traveller announced digital convention LudoNarraCon celebrating narrative games. The event ran from 10 to 13 May, with livestreamed panels hosted on storefront Steam .

The successor to the PlayStation 2 , it is part of the PlayStation brand of consoles. It was the first console to use Blu-ray Disc technology as its primary storage medium. The console was the first PlayStation to integrate social gaming services, including the PlayStation Network , as well as the first to be controllable from a handheld console, through its remote connectivity with PlayStation Portable and PlayStation Vita . In September 2009, the Slim model of the PlayStation 3 was released. It no longer provided the hardware ability to run PS2 games. It was lighter and thinner than the original version, and featured a redesigned logo and marketing design, as well as a minor start-up change in software. A Super Slim variation was then released in late 2012, further refining and redesigning the console. PS3 's hardware has also been used to build supercomputers for high-performance computing. Fixstars Solutions sells a version of Yellow Dog Linux for PlayStation 3 (originally sold by Terra Soft Solutions). RapidMind produced a stream programming package for PS3 , but were acquired by Intel in 2009. Also, on January 3, 2007, Dr. Frank Mueller, Associate Professor of Computer Science at NCSU, clustered 8 PS3s. Mueller commented that the 256 MB of system RAM is a limitation for this particular application and is considering attempting to retrofit more RAM. Software includes: Fedora Core 5 Linux ppc64, MPICH2, OpenMP v 2.5, GNU Compiler Collection and CellSDK 1.1. As a more cost-effective alternative to conventional supercomputers, the U.S. military has purchased clusters of PS3 units for research purposes. Retail PS3 Slim units cannot be used for supercomputing, because PS3 Slim lacks the ability to boot into a third-party OS. In December 2008, a group of hackers used a cluster of 200 PlayStation 3 computers to crack SSL authentication. In November 2010 the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) created a powerful supercomputer by connecting together 1,760 Sony PS3s which include 168 separate graphical processing units and 84 coordinating servers in a parallel array capable of performing 500 trillion floating-point operations per second (500 TFLOPS).
