Former devs continue to have a strong relationWarcraft
Chris Metzen, who worked as the lead designer for Starcraft and who served as creative director on some of Blizzard's biggest games, including World of Warcraft , was one of Blizzard's first high-profile-departures when he left the company in 2016. In 2018. Metzen co-founded Warchief Gaming an RPG for tabletop players which has enjoyed enormous success through Kickstarter buy WoTLK Gold. His fantasy setting for his campaign, Auroboros: Coils of the Serpent reached its Kickstarter goal of raising funds in just 11 minutes. The campaign is currently at over $1.2 million.
Ben Brode, the former game director at World of Warcraft who left Blizzard in the year 2018 following 15 years at the studio and founded Second Dinner, an indie studio made up of mostly former Blizzard game developers currently working on an Marvel game.
Tim Morton and Tim Campbell Tim Campbell, two developers with vast experience on games like Starcraft and World of Warcraft, formed Frost Giant in 2020 with the goal of making the next excellent RTS, with much of the team's talent, about 80% according to IGN which is a source from Blizzard. Kevin Dong, former lead co-op designer on Starcraft 2. told IGN that the most important reason behind the high proportion of past Blizzard employees is Frost Giant's demand for developers who have RTS previous experience.
"It just happens that Blizzard has one of the highest numbers of them that work in the United States, which means that we'd have a greater percentage of former employees of Blizzard," Dong said.
Many of these former devs continue to have a strong relationWarcraft and Blizzard. Metzen remains a voice actor, as an ex- Horde Warchief, Thrall, for example, and a lot of them still have a positive opinion of Blizzard. As IGN reports in its report some of the former Blizzard employees who left were unwilling to break their relationships with their former employer.
However, Blizzard's many departures are without notice buy WoW WoTLK Classic Gold. Reports about Blizzard's changing culture and discontent with pay and layoffs have helped draw a picture of a company that's probably not as appealing a place for employees to work as it once seemed. Even if it's not true, it's an interesting narrative that could create a greater incentive for Blizzard talent to go elsewhere as per a source that IGN cited in its report.
