Yeah sure dude. Throw the devs under the bus amidst horrible allegations. ๐คก๐ฉ๐คก๐ฉ.
In an interview with GamesBeat, Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick explained his motive for selling to Microsoft, citing the delay of Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4 as having a principle effect on declining stock prices. #ActivisionBlizzard #Microsoft .

My Sylvanas fan art (2019) was 100% the turning point for me. I was living in a black mold filled building built in the early 1900s cause thatโs all I could afford lol ๐ . She scored me interviews and an art test at my dream team ๐
I'm curious and really want to know - artist folks, do you have an older piece of yours that was a bit of a turning point for you?.
