Blizzard’s origins date back to the early 1990s, when the company, founded by three University of California graduates: Allen Adham, Michael Morhaime, and Frank Pearce, began to strive to produce its own computer games.
The company was initially called Silicon & Synapse Inc. and went through name rebranding twice before becoming known as Blizzard Entertainment.
Already under the Blizzard banner, it began releasing its best-known titles, which, in addition to StarCraft, include the WarCraft and Diablo series.
