From what I understood, thatâs where the EU CMs/ GMs are/were
The Versailles office, which employed around 400 people as of early 2019, handled marketing, customer support, localizing games to different languages and other functions for the titles Activision Blizzard publishes in Europe.
The closing will put an end to two years of turbulence for the Versailles office, which was once solely an operation of Blizzard, the unit responsible for beloved games like Diablo and World of Warcraft. A recent restructuring placed some of the staff under the wider Activision umbrella. Blizzard has traditionally remained autonomous within the broader Activision organization, but in recent years that has changed, with Activision taking a larger role in Blizzardâs operations.
The majority of the support staff are in Cork, there were still some in Versaille along with many other departments and staff. Some of whom I have become friends with over the years. My heart goes out to them⌠in this current climate finding a new job is not an easy task.
Iâm inclined to be somewhat skeptical of this due to the âemployees tell Bloomberg newsâ which is usually a cute way of saying âex employees mad at company for firing them phone up news outlet and make out company who fired them was bad for doing soâ.
if itâs true, this happens all the time with American or indeed any overseas corporation having interests in foreign countries. If it isnât true or has been blown out of proportion⌠well.
Upsetting. Itâs not like their sales are down and itâs not like their CS staff is doing very well right now either⌠Really hate big corporations.
