===Background===
'''Blizzard Entertainment''' (formerly "Silicon & Synapse") was founded on February 8, 1991 by Michael Morhaime, Allen Adham, and Frank Pearce. It had to be renamed to its current name in 1994 shortly after being sued by [[Interplay Entertainment]]. In July 2008, it merged with [[Activision]] to become Activision Blizzard, but it still remains a subsidiary of it. They are best known for creating the ''Warcraft'', ''Diablo'', and ''StarCraft'' franchises, all of which have become worldwide hits.
