Play Nice
Behind every legendary game is a story few players ever see. Discover the untold rise, internal struggles, and dramatic transformation of the studio that changed video game history forever.
Written by acclaimed investigative journalist Jason Schreier, Play Nice: The Rise, Fall, and Future of Blizzard Entertainment is a compelling behind-the-scenes account of one of the most influential game developers in history. Drawing on interviews with more than 300 current and former Blizzard employees, Schreier chronicles the company's extraordinary journey—from two UCLA graduates creating games they wanted to play, to Blizzard becoming the powerhouse behind iconic franchises such as Warcraft, StarCraft, Diablo, Overwatch, and World of Warcraft. The book also explores the difficult years that followed, revealing how corporate pressures, creative conflicts, canceled projects, workplace controversies, layoffs, and legal battles reshaped the studio's culture and reputation. Combining meticulous reporting with engaging storytelling, Play Nice offers readers an unprecedented look at the people, ambitions, and challenges behind one of gaming's most celebrated companies.
