NEWS:
ABK Earnings report:
Blizzard’s numbers are catastrophic!
Revenue down 28%, bookings down 15% and net income is down 68%.
MAUs only went up (year over year) by roughly 1 million from 26 to 27 million.
From Q1 to Q2 ‘22 MAUs went up from 22 to 27 million, likely due to Diablo: Immortal.
Diablo: Immortal had 30 million installs, so Blizzard tells us.
Quarter over Quarter there is an increase of MAUs of 5 million.
China launch was delayed, so we’ll see other MAU numbers at the next earnings report.

My neighbor gave me a gift, an item I needed to craft the letter box so I can receive mail at my house.
Hello everyone!
I may have just seen the twitch notification that the podcast was live and may have just remembered that I had forgotten to submit a thing. All good now! ^_^
This week I have a little audio from my adventures and a Blast from the Past from episode 450. Enjoy!
