I’m leaving from Blizzard Entertainment after 19 wonderful years.
It was truly the honor of a lifetime to be able to create worlds and heroes for such a loyal audience. I want to express my deep gratitude to everyone in Blizzard, Who supported our games, our game teams and our players. I also want to separately thank the beautiful developers who shared the creative path with me.
Never accept the world as it is. Always have the courage to see him as it could be. I hope you do so.

On the eve of the 2021st, the head of Overwatch Jeff Kaplan did not come to sit by the traditional fireplace. And no longer will come – the developer leaves Blizzard.
It looks like Blizzard still banned Kaplan for inaction.
According to Keller, the production of Overwatch 2 is moving at a good pace
Yeah, I willingly believe. After all, usually nothing bad happens when its leader leaves right during the development of the game.
I wish he went to Dreamhaven. =)
After reading the next news about the leaving the developer from the nearbyzard, I remembered about the ship of Tesya.
I will quote my comment from another news, but it will give you an idea of the problem:
After the W3R I will not buy a single Blizzard game and I will not extend the subscription to Wow.
Diablo 3 – abandoned, the last content is a paid DLC with a necromancer, 3 years ago.
Starcraft 2 – abandoned, support support is stopped, new content will no longer be.
Hots – abandoned, slowly dies without Kriptycasino.co.uk a new audience and advertising.
W3R – in the benefits of statements are almost dead, 1 patch times half a year to play in which patches need a lot.
OVELWATCH – it is not particularly in the subject, but it feels from the stage of "stagnation" and is waiting for the new DLC for the full price of "Overwath 2" when it comes out when it comes out.
WOW – plots of sloping, mechanics do not work from time to time as they should. Classic servers and this says everything “before it was better” and then they whimper punctures in them one by one.
“You either die a hero, or you live until you become a villain.»This is applicable to Silvan, it happens with Blizzard, which has been with me all my life. F
Eh, there will be no more of those many hours of streams by the fireplace..
You are wrong in the following:
Diablo 3 – new seasons do not differ from each other, and the same game for 10 years is not hunting for 10 years.
Starcraft2-if you did not know, they officially stop maintaining the game and current patch-fixes will be, nothing more (given that the balance is on the side of the grains for the last 5 years).
Hots – initially methyla in e -sports if you did not know. Tournaments and so. Now he is in camatosium condition. Online less than RU Lol server.
W3R – gruel in lean oil. ESTOSport lives current at the expense of fans, the last official tournament was in the area of the game (when the player threw it 3 times in the final of the play because of the instability of the game and he lost because of this). There is still no Ladder in the game, although he was promised a month after the release. Fans of a home -made fraeen made, like a server proxy so that Europe and Asia were played at small pings. Warcraft 3 – Great Game. W3R is a quarrel.
Velwatch – I am not interested in therefore I will not say anything.
Wow-mmorpg = mass multi-user role-playing online game. If the game in the Mmorpg genre focuses on the Sing, then this is at least strange. And from their plots about the evil horde and crazy leaders, I am fed up on the throat.
SCR-alive only because of Korea, they do not play anywhere else in it.
And yes, SC and D2 are games for which ~ 20 years. And these games (and w3) merit “Blizzard Entertainment”, and not “Activision Blizzard”, which I criticized with my commentary.
Now you can definitely score on Overwatch.
Thanks a lot to Jeff and his team for dozens of hours spent with great pleasure! I hope in the future Jeff will still please us with games in the production of which he will take part.
Everything looks as if activated by little kills all the franchises of close
What is the problem? "Game ADHD" at the current generation? =)
Diablo 3 is a good completed product, but even small patches and seasons continue to come out there.
Starcraft 2 – the same.
Hots – originally Fanservest’s fun, patches and new heroes rarely come out, but still alive online.
W3R – replaced W3 (which is the biggest problem), and this is e -sports and a chic game.
OVELWATCH – is supplied with constant events with new skins, it seems like this is the generation of FORNETIT.
Wow is another of the best MMOs. The development vector after the cataclysm clearly went towards the single mmorpg.
SCR – Tournaments are still held, online alive, Carbot mod is great. =)
D2 – masterpiece game, online and servers are all 20 years of life. Remaster is made.
Above correctly noticed about the ship of Tesya. Diablo 3 did the new Blizzard already and turned out extremely clumsy, but with the release of ROS most errors were fixed and a very good game was obtained.
The first paragraph is a complete contradiction of what I said. If you did not notice in your comments, I did not mention the old games at all, I have a complaint to new ones, made by new nearby. In W3 I play and recall once every 1-2 years, but I returned the money for W3R and I will never buy it in my life.
Just SCR, D2R and W3R are not the merit of new nearby zard, I’m not a SC fan so I’m sure that it was remared and did it well. But they try to resell the old games again (Tod Howard Steel). Like old addons for wow because nothing new can come up with. How many new IPs have they released in 10 years? Harstone and overt. One parasitizes on Warcraft and pulls money from players. The second I am not interested in.
Somehow sad. But what about Yule log this year? ((
Thank you, now everything seems not so soremistic
F, very sorry. He hoped at all that sooner or later Pope Jeff would take the chair of Morheim instead of the “abrak”, apparently not fate. I will now wait for the news about his connection to Frost Giant or to Warchief Gaming.
Yes, only from Dreamhaven itself is neither hearing nor the spirit, and this is alarming.
If we rely on the opinion of the corresponding games accepted in the Cor-Comfort, then we already have 4 corpses in less than 3 years.
Activision: It’s Okay Guys, There Definitely No Impostors or Serial Killeers Here, Keep Working!
You did not understand me, I say that the old blits made reference games for centuries, I do new shit, so clear? Tired of conveying my thought that they do not understand.
Drimhak is supervised for the most part by the players themselves. And about D3 this is not my whim so that the game changes, it stands still. And the fact that you and your friends plays once a year in SCR not an indicator at all.
They just opened a few months ago, you really think that they already have something to show?
