Decoding Tech

Thirty years ago, Blizzard Entertainment spawned Warcraft, and then World of Warcraft a decade later, unleashing hordes of orcs and humans onto millions of fans' computer screens.

Many of those fans were in attendance at CHM Live on December 10, 2024, to hear New York Times bestselling author and Bloomberg News reporter Jason Schreier discuss his new book, Play Nice: The Rise, Fall, and Future Of Blizzard Entertainment, with CHM curator and gamer Hansen Hsu.
