About this listen

Two companies. Two opposing cultures. One multi-billion-dollar video game empire.

Stay Awhile and Listen: How Two Blizzards Unleashed Diablo and Forged a Video Game Empire invites listeners to discover the origin of Blizzard North, a studio built by gamers, for gamers, and Blizzard Entertainment, a convergence of designers driven to rule their industry.

Composed from exhaustive research and hundreds of personal interviews, the Stay Awhile and Listen series divulges the fated meeting that brought the two Blizzards together, the clashes that tore them apart, and their transformation from grassroots democracy to corporate empire. At the center of it all - Diablo, a hack-and-slash adventure through the darkest recesses of Hell that changed online gaming forever.

This book, or at least the first hour, is a collection of interviews. That's pretty much it. If I actually *read* the book, it probably wouldn't be so bad. But as an audio book I hated it. The narrator is basically trying to act out the interviews, with different voices for different people. And I don't really blame the narrator, because how else would the listener be able to tell the different people apart? It's just a series of quotes from various people. So the narration is really silly.

1h 30m in and I give up.

I wish somebody would write a new book where they actually tell the story and not just quote the interviews. Because I want to know the story but not in this format.
