You dont get those by a job opening, good storytelling is a talent and very VERY rare one and this applies very mutch in these times where everthing is a reboot or remake or a spinoff because of the lack in talent in this department.
When you want a good one you look at franchises in movies, games and books you like and what storyteller is behind them and you talk to them if they are interest to push your IP forward with good story.

Diablo Immortal controller support sounds great - especially if the game isn't bad. Sad to see it isn't being released for PC but people will just use emulators anyways.
It's strange that they have delayed Diablo Immortal for so long. It feels like they at first wanted it to be a reskinned Chinese knock-off clone, but with how much it has been delayed that doesn't sound like the case anymore. I doubt they'd wait SO long if the game was already finished - there has been plenty of dead time between patches or updates in their games to release it.
So what gives, honestly?
Yep, told my guildies yesterday it is going to be fixed as we were going to do a "go go go" run tonight for leveling up a few characters, and someone read the xp boost article on Wowhead.
I told them and did some runs myself yesterday instead, because it was obvious it was going to be fixed since wowhead reported about it, and 3 hours later, it was fixed. I don't get why they didn't take it back to how it was when we had the WoD event few weeks back. It gave half of what it did yesterday in TBC ones, but instead blizzard nerfs it to be worse than doing normal dungeon leveling? Its just too much.
And like always, if there is something you think is good in the game, please be quiet about it :P

Current narrative team is doing a systematic assassination of the old lore so pretty much any half talented random geek can write better story than this thing filled with self inserts, red herring "cliffhangers" with no forseeable resolution, characters with 0 personality (Jailer) whose motives seems to be secret to everybody (even the writers)...
Sounds like they are ramping up to a new expansion, plus we had a lot of folks leaving in the last couple of months so it does make sense.
Ion got his foot in the door by running the (at the time) biggest theorycrafting site on the internet(Elitist Jerks). His work crunching numbers and figuring out that C'thun was mathematically impossible even though Blizzard thought he was killable put his name on their radar, and he later joined the company as a member of the Encounters team. He had a huge hand in designing Ulduar and ICC. It's not like he was hired and immediately made Game Director. He rose through the ranks over years with the company.
And honestly, he was really good at designing encounters and you can tell even today that raids are his passion. He should have stayed there.
If you have not seen it played how do you know if it is good or bad and don't give me "HURRR DURR PHONES ALWAYS BAD" bullshit. Again Blizzcon might be physically in the US but the event is for let's say it very slowly now. The Entire World. Since you know it can be shown online, people around the world go to see it. It isn't an American conference for American market.
It is also a Blizzard IP, which means where else to show it? Blizzard Ip, Blizzard conference. Logically makes perfect sense. It wasn't like blizzard were saying D4 was incoming that year. Infact Blizzard made it clear BEFORE the ticket sales were finalised that if you're buying tickets expecting Diablo 4 or any kind of PC diablo game you're basically an idiot by using their social media accounts multiple times saying "Do not expect Diablo 4."
