According to him, he and the other co-founder of Blizzard Entertainment Allen Adam was going to invest in your project for $10 000. As Morhaime himself kind of money had he decided to borrow his grandmother Mildred Miller $15 000, but only on the condition that it will return $100 every month until full repayment of the debt. Of course, take grandson’s interest loving grandmother refused. Relatives made up a kind of informal contract that the Director, Blizzard still keeps.
The head of Blizzard also added that grandparents always supported him and was proud that he does what Morhaime very grateful to them. If he could go back in time with knowledge of what will reach the Studio with this little attachment, he would advise a young version of himself to relax and concentrate solely on creating video games.
