Seems like another round of exodus from blizzard something must be happening behind the scenes for all of these senior people to leave.

Ok blizzard is ending. It matters.

All their pioneers and devs have left in one way shape or form. So if you have played blizzard games for say 15+ years - you have probably noticed a shift in morals, values attitudes etc over there.

This is a big part of why.

We literally can’t even call them blizzard anymore. It’s activision :confused: like 100% now

If you like the fantasy of Wow or games like overwatch then this should be a big deal. Trust me.

Also it doesn’t matter which team he’s on. These guys shift their positions all the time

Glad we had him, sucks to see him go.

Hope you enjoy whatever you do next, Jeff.

He hasn’t been on the WoW team for how long lol
And after 20 years, it’s normal these OG people would leave at some point.

Now if we can get Ion to join them on the way out and a few others then I’d be happy. I’d take Kaplan over Ion any day of t he week.

Everything changes. Especially within the video game industry. This seems overly dramatic to me. But, such is the forums.
