Blizzard is hiring C# and unity programmers for an unannounced project.

Is WoW going mobile? Or will this actually be interesting? Seems unlikely it would be a card game given Hearthstone's presence, but here's hope it will be something turn-based.

My vote is a "board game" based on an existing license.

Probably something on mobile, maybe a heroes of the storm port to mobile? Or a simpler version of it for mobile? Cause I heard some chinese mobile MOBA is earning more than league of legends, which is a lot.

Definitely not WoW mobile I think.

Yeah, mobile sounds like the go-to thing. Unity's greatest asset is that it allows for your turd to be ported to tablets, phones and websites.

It will be something like the Garrison/Order Hall missions. I'm surprised they didn't poop out something like it earlier; although apparently you can actually do those missions in WoW via their mobile app. This will be a separate F2P thing with some e-currency you can buy to get better armor, recruit heroes, or whatever.

It'll be a first person shooter with light RPG mechanics that can be played in on-line co-op where the main game is so dire that no-one will give a shit about it but in 10 years time 23 years olds will reminisce about all the fun they had 'trolling' other users.

Why do they keep adding "passion for games" as a requirement. I guess for Blizzard it doesn't matter that much but the smaller firms that copy them are hiring morons and denying perfect candidates for that reason.

It was a core reason for their early success. They have lost that and want it back.
