Thank you. These shitty clickbait headlines drive me nuts.

I started reading the article thinking it couldn't be that bad, but, holy shit, you are right. Their post reads like a teenager wrote it.

Well, that explains the mass layoffs.

That Blizzard is selling their games on Steam at all speaks volumes about how poorly they are doing.

All of the design talent and experience has been purged from their ranks in the last 10-12 years. They are a trash tier developer and have burned all the nostalgic goodwill of their past successes.

Kotick killed the golden goose, ruined countless careers and lives, and now he gets to leave with hundreds of millions at the end of the year. Capitalism at is finest.

Not a specific game recommendation, but you should look into Xbox game pass. For $10-15 a month, you get access to a huge library of games. You'll be able to try a bunch of stuff without having to commit to any purchases. https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-game-pass

Look into a game called Aeon's End. It's a digital adaptation of a tabletop deck builder that's super fun. You can choose opponents of varying difficulties so the learning curve is pretty reasonable. One you understand the game's strategies, it's very satisfying to play at a high level.
