In p>1994, Chaos Studio was acquired by Davidson &; After the acquisition of Associates, the founders Mike and Allen chose a name destined to go down in history by looking through the dictionary: "Blizzard"

Blizzard: From the dictionary

Frank Pearce, the co-founder of Blizzard, explained: Actually, there is no special secret behind the word Blizzard. But naming is indeed a complicated process. At first, we opened the dictionary and made a long list of words, and then began to narrow it down. For the words on these lists, we solicit opinions from our colleagues. Finally, through the legal department to verify the trademark search, "Blizzard" was born.
