Diablo IV's June release doesn't seem likely without developers crunching, a report claims...
. The"Diablo IV" team has reportedly been losing vast amounts of talent for more than a year now, with many developers becoming tired of leadership changes and"mismanagement," opting instead to seek out other employment with more competitive salaries and work conditions.
While the developers working on Diablo IV would rather avoid any form of 'crunch' time, it sounds like they feel like they'll have to, not wanting to release an unfinished game. The game was delayed into 2023 last year, which Activision Blizzard's CEO said was part of the reason the company's stocks dropped — this"felt very much like he just drove the bus over the top of us," a former Blizzard team leader said.
Despite the company surveying the team"regularly" for their professional wellbeing, which is said to be the"most positive they've been in years," morale seems to be dropping. One current employee spoke to The Washington Post about the effects the 12-hour days have had on their life:"It's affected my health, it's affected my relationships, both familiar and romantic... it affects my ability to just enjoy things.
