Iksar is leaving Blizzard!

After 11 years, I am leaving Blizzard.
Hearthstone is an incredible game. To have played even a small part in its creation is an honor I'll never forget. Thank you to all the players, and a special thank you to my fellow game creators. I am proud of all we built together. pic.twitter.com/zhc0PBuOke

Well… BYE. You’ve ruined the game since you were placed in charge.
Guess you’ll just flee the scene now that the victim is dead.

I am already seeing comments from the future of people saying “iksar was so great, the current leader is so bad!”

Really? You would have to stink pretty bad to be a worse decision maker than Iksar.

I mean, after reading this statement every year it’s kinda ridiculous; but sooner or later it will become true

I don’t know anyone nor what they did.
I just know that whoever is in charge of correcting bugs before an update goes live, has done a terrible job in the last year or two

If they say it every year, eventually they will get it right

God… They will probably make his Purple haired Majesty head of design.
He couldn’t defend Colossals to me on Twitter, so He called me “insufferable”
and blocked me lol.

Best news all year. It’s best for him and the community, bring in someone who actually has a passion for the game and takes some accountability.

It’s a nice thought, but I doubt they will.
I personally hope MS breaks up Blizzard and sells the parts for scrap.

Well hopefully now we’ll see some positive changes to the game. He should take a few of the other devs with him just to be safe.

I know we aren’t going to get a good replacement with the introduction of Runestones and Season 2 of Battlegrounds. They’re going to find someone who will push a monetization model first. Guaranteed.
