“On May 24 we brought Blizzard Entertainment’s highly anticipated team-based first-person shooter game,
Overwatch®, to players in China in conjunction with its global launch. Following the release, Overwatch has received unprecedented attention and praise from the online players’ community. It surpassed the sales record established last year by Blizzard categorynment’s Diablo III®: Reaper of Souls™ in the category of buy-to-play PC-client games in China, with nearly 3 million copies sold by the end of June. In addition, Blizzard Entertainment’s Hearthstone®: Heroes of Warcraft™ achieved new records for revenues and the number of
active players in the second quarter, following the April release of its third expansion pack, Whisper of the Old Gods™.”

Its the feeling of 'safe' and satisfaction about Blizzard support their game that really count, they have spent years cultivating this mentality for their product. At this rate, anything Blizz made in the future will be a bestseller for sure, and they deserved it.
