With Microsoft posting a 21% decline in game revenue while celebrating an increase in subscriptions, the traditional metrics for success aren’t as straightforward as they used to be.

Finally, the recent release of Warcraft 3: Reforged has sparked a fun new mess of problems for Blizzard, after it was revealed the company holds total ownership of all custom games built with the system.
