What is Jason Schreier's next book about?
In a marked departure from his previous books (which both covered numerous companies and the dovetailing stories of their staff), Jason Schreier's Play Nice will focus on just one company: Blizzard Entertainment — the makers of Diablo, Overwatch and World of Warcraft — will be going under the microscope here.
The blurb tells us that Jason Schreier will examine "three decades of ups and downs at Blizzard Entertainment".
The official description adds: "Based on first-hand interviews with more than 300 current and former employees, Play Nice chronicles the creativity, frustration, beauty and betrayal across the epic 33-year saga of Blizzard Entertainment — and explores the delight and despair of what it really means to 'bleed Blizzard blue'.
"Full of colorful personalities and dramatic twists, Play Nice is The Social Network for the video game industry." We'll definitely be reading.
