Error 404: Title not found.

I don't believe so. ATVI has cut costs a lot in order to pump up their profits, but their revenues in 2013 have slid back to just above 2010 numbers.
The difference this year will be the Destiny numbers, and that will pump up revenues back to normal levels. However, none of that has to do with Blizzard (except Hearthstone). They are going to hope to bring in major sales from the xpac, but the market is slowly dwindling every year.
The goose is not laying as many eggs, as Merusk noted. Other parts of ATVI are having to pick up the slack.

Zowie... that was not at all what I was expecting. What a dreary and bleak sounding game...waking up to go to work each day would be a welcome relief. |

I'm shocked they haven't done a Blizzard Brawler ala SSB.

Probably. They've got to be looking at more ways to cash in which lighter games like Hearthstone. |

Don't forget that Blizzard wants to hook people while they're young. That Megablocks parntership is just one example.

You guys aren't thinking small enough. They're probably developing a shitty iOS free to play kingdom builder. It'll be out before Christmas.

I'm surprised we haven't seen mobile ports of the old Warcrafts yet.

Blizzard Clash of Clans ripoff would do well. |

Come come, we can think smaller than that! easy enough to do Match 3 Orcs, something like http://gameslikefinder.com/cavemania/. I'd go with something Diablo-y though. Heck, I'd be surprised if they didn't already have a feature complete Diablo mobile app already. Perfect game and business model for 7"+ tablets. |
