Who Founded Blizzard?

Blizzard was founded by Allen Adham, Michael Morhaime and Frank Pearce. The terms "Silicone" and "Synapse" were very important terms for all three founders. Silicon was known as the building block of computers and Synapse as the building block of the brain. Initially, each founder contributed approximately $10,000 to fund the company. Initially, the Blizzard company focused on creating gaming ports for other companies. While everything was going well, Adham told other executives in 1993 that he no longer liked the name Silicon and Synapse. Because people were confusing the silicone used in microchips with the silicone used in breast operations in normal life. Towards the end of 1993, the name changed to "Chaos Studios". In 1994, it was purchased by Davidson and Associated for $6.75 million. Later, his company name was changed to "Ogre Studios", but Davidson and Associated did not take kindly to this name. Thus, the name was changed to "Blizzard Entertainment".
