A biography for Michael Morhaimehasn’t been written yet.
“When we were making games in the early '90s for the Super Nintendo and the Sega Genesis, popular games didn't have any real story.”
“What's really interesting is when you see players using tactics or combinations of units that we'd never even thought of.”
“As a spectator eSport, I think 'StarCraft' is really exciting, engaging, and interesting to watch. As a player, it just really has something for everybody.”
“From a development standpoint, at Blizzard Entertainment one of our values of course is commitment to quality.”
“We're always trying to improve and to make our games better.”
“I am surprised by the level of toxicity sometimes that exists online, especially where people can say things anonymously.”
“I want to thank all of the talented and hardworking people at Blizzard for their dedication, creativity and passion. It has been a privilege to lead this team.”
“We're definitely thrilled that so many people around the world were excited to pick up their copy of 'Diablo III' and jump in the moment it went live.”
“Well, the team that created 'Starcraft 2' is probably the most experienced real-time strategy team in the industry - there are members of that team who have worked on all our RTS games going back to 'Warcraft.'”
“2013 is going to be a very important year for eSports. We see this as the beginning.”
“There is another person on the other end of the chatscreen. They're our friends, our brothers and sisters, our sons and daughters. Let's take a stand to reject hate and harassment. And let's redouble our efforts to be kind and respectful to one another. And let's remind the world what the gaming community is really all about.”
“We've always had a cultural commitment to reach as many players as we could.”
“One thing we wanted to take from traditional sports with 'Overwatch League' - we have city-based teams. There aren't really any other models where you have a global city-based league. But you do have teams that are based in a location.”
“Activision and Blizzard both believe that we're in an expanding market where we can reach more people across multiple platforms, geographies and age groups. Both of our companies are positioned very well to take advantage of those trends to keep lowering the barriers to get more people into gaming.”
“Blizzcon is a Blizzard show. It's not an Activsion/Blizzard show.”
“I mean, Blizzcon is a great event for us. It's a way that we can basically say 'thank you' to our most passionate players, and it's a great place for us to announce new things.”
“'Lost Vikings' and 'Rock 'n' Roll Racing' were pretty critical games to us. We got some acclaim as a result, some video gaming awards. Those are the games that impressed Davidson and Associates and led to the merger talks.”
“Asia is the founding land of competitive gaming.”
“Of course, we create a lot of heroes. But the real intention of that is to make the player feel like a hero in all of our games.”
“If we can help to make the interactions between folks online safer and more friendly, that would make it all more fun and more gratifying for everyone.”
