As part of a large workforce reduction announced in February 2019 across the whole of Activision Blizzard, King's Z2Live studio in Seattle was shuttered.[28]
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to reiterate on the main point of my previous message and that is that we need more time. That's all we are saying. For now, we do not have enough evidence to make one decision or another because we have different parameters (your feedback being one) showing different perspectives.
This feature is an optional one, I can imagine it's still an important one for many of you based on your reactions but it isn't a feature (like quests wasn't) that is needed in order to play the game. It's just a nice extra addition for you to enjoy it even more.
I appreciate all your comments and we do read them thoroughly, all we are asking for is some time to make sure we know enough to make the right decisions.
Cheers,
Xarly
