Yes;
a. He was announced as a creative adviser near the end of december 2022. DF and a lot of the major patch was probably done more or less in a rough framework with rough layouts worked on for .2
c. He is not a game director anymore so I agree that he won’t now have the same influence as before but saying he is just there to get butts in seats is kind of being unfair to Metzen.
I have admitted the move was more likely a marketing move but I think he has a lot of seniority in the company and I think they there at HQ have a lot of respect for him that he now going forward is having SOME say in how to improve something, take a direction with something, flesh something out.
can someone there ask why are they so stupid in making dracs glide.
not a hard question to answer but bliz intelligence will not be able to answer I’m afraid
