I don't recognize this person, and so I am in no way interested by his life story.
Excellent news tbh
Not a good sign to have a WoW lead developer "leaving" blizzard right before Legion is out. They clearly know of the disaster that's coming. The 50% of the WoW user base that are PvP'ers will not be coming back, and I wonder how much of of the blame "Shut up PvP guy" Jay Wilson has created for himself. The only way the news could be better is if Holinka is the next to go.
I wish him well on his writing career, I really do, but sometimes firing someone is appropriate and this was appropriate as fuck.
A lot of people hated Ghostcrawler and then missed him afterwards.
Will the same hold true for Jay Wilson?
Probably not.
I wish him all the best.
Being a useless game designer doesn't necessarily make him a bad guy. I can't judge him, because I've never met him. He was just in the wrong racket for a decade, and is now moving onto something that he seems to care about.
Good for him.
Good riddance. The damage has been done though. World of Diablocraft soon (30th August) in a shop near you!
I certainly won't be missing him after his asinine comments over the years.
That's because he was directly responsible for almost every bad part of D3. The only bad thing from D3 that wasn't his fault or his teams fault was the shitty launch and login fiasco. He is also one of the guys who has been causing the stagnation and shitty dev attitude from the WoW team. He should have been fired after screwing up Diablo so severely.
Now all we gotta do is get rid of Celestalon and get some decent team leads in their positions. Then I would have very little to complain about with Blizzard.
was he the one responsible for coming up with the "story" about spacegoats crash-landing their mothership and that is how draenei became a playable race?
