Blizzard's most recent projects

I've updated the paragraph explaining Blizzard's most recent projects to include the most recent updates for each of its game franchises since most of the projects listed as recent were outdated by some years. I've updated Blizzard's most recent projects to be accurate up to 2023. Please feel free to update and discuss any changes that need to be made. VN4066 (talk) 20:38, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Offices versus Studios

@Boyohboy231: Do you have any proof or sourcing that all of the various offices that Blizzard maintains in various cities are actually discrete subsidiaries? The subsidiary field is for literal corporate subsidiaries, not just the fact that Blizzard maintains a presence in multiple cities. -- ferret (talk) 15:40, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Boyohboy231 Communication IS required on Wikipedia. Can you provide sources that these are subsidiaries or should I go ahead and revert? -- ferret (talk) 14:08, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
