For the sake of opening Blizzard, Mike Morheim borrowed money from his grandmother
The president of Blizzard gaming company Mike Morhaime (Mike Morhaime) said that he opened the studio thanks to a loan of $ 15 thousand, which was given to him by his grandmother Mildred Miller (Mildred Miller) in 1991.
He announced this during a Twitch stream dedicated to the November 2017 BlizzCon festival.
Mildred did not impose interest on her grandson, but according to the contract, Michael had to repay the debt monthly, returning $ 100 to his grandmother.
A piece of paper with the terms of the “loan contract” is still kept by the president of Blizzard.
“My grandparents have always been very supportive of me. Grandma wasn’t a gamer and didn’t play my games, but I know she was always very proud of everything I do,” Morheim added.
He advised all novice participants of the gaming industry not to be afraid of the unknown and just focus on creating games.
