Source: Acti-Blizz restructuring, assigns new executive to BlizzardBlizzard Entertainment rounds out the fourth unit but interestingly, Blizzard's Mike Morhaime now reports directly to newly appointed chief operating officer Thomas Tippl, who in turn reports to Activision CEO Bobby Kotick.
"This is an important change as it will allow me, with Thomas, to become more deeply involved in areas of the business where I believe we can capture great potential and opportunity," Kotick said in the employee memo.
Here's hoping Kotick and Tippl will have the sense to let Blizzard continue printing money with WoW and StarCraft II instead of interfering. We've already been asked to buy StarCraft II three times. Let's not push it.
EDIT: And in case you're hoping this is an April Fools Day joke: Activision quietly restructures senior management and internal organization [Updated]
