In fact he was a liar to begin with, he even lied with his 7 years work for blizzard and so on.
He insulted a man who created the Diablo franchise in the first place because he constructively said what is wrong with Diablo3.
So I don't take his words for serious here since he is such an arrogant douche, he won't tell us if finally someone made the decision to dispromote him.
And to all the "Diablo3 was the best selling game ever":
Yeah it was, but why? Because of the amazing reputation this franchise and Blizzard had because of Diablo2 and WoW, not because of this man and his "vision" of the game.
There have not even been a beta for people to try, if there would have been one, i'm completely sure not even half as much games would have been sold.
This man basically destroyed the legacy of Diablo, destroyed the reputation of blizzard with a crappy game that is not worthy to be the sequell to Diablo2 and even had an attitude that is beyond unprofessional. (The "Fuck that loser" thing).
People have been fired for way less at blizzard and I still can't understand why they let him in charge after that anyway.
So tl;dr:
I'm glad he is finally gone, sadly years too late and since the game is already released and complete there won't be any bigger changes to the core problems of the game, since that would basically mean to recreat half of the game.
Diablo3 is dead and he is the one to blaim for it.
