It would still be a turd, though. Some things are a lot more important than money. Like being able to say you've devoted years of your life to creating something that's actually good... but in the US at least, people seem to keep forgetting that, these days. When I want a single-player story, I'll play a single-player game. When I play an MMO, I want a massively multiplayer world. |

Originally posted by TheHavok lol he got fired. do you think game companies will announce shit like " we hired are lead producer because he sucks and ruined our franchise". in the PR speak, "moved to a new project" means " we sacked this mofo cos he failed". |

Originally posted by kalrhael Seeing how BioWare had been going with their games in a number of years now, I'm not sorry. This is NOT the BioWare of Baldur's Gate 1 & 2, NWN, and KOTOR1 timeframe. For gaming, I'm quite fond of those years of BioWare. But they've drastically changed for the worse. To me, the final nail in the coffin for their reputation was SWTOR. They've made their own stumbling blocks on their rise, and now they get to trip over them. "I have only two out of my company and 20 out of some other company. We need support, but it is almost suicide to try to get it here as we are swept by machine gun fire and a constant barrage is on us. I have no one on my left and only a few on my right. I will hold."

Originally posted by bishbosh2 Are you really that naive? Yeah, he got fired even though he said on his company's website that he would be moved to another project within Blizzard to work on something new and that he would still consult with the Diablo 3 team every so often.. Why would he get fired on a project that ended up selling like 10 million+ copies? That...makes no sense. |

Originally posted by bishbosh2 He got promoted. He got a huge raise too. He has a bigger office and a new title to go with it. They gave him three assistants. Blizzard likes Jay. He makes them money. So much money they can't count it as fast as it's coming in. They keep having to adjust their profit forcasts upwards.

Not sure why they put him on "Titan" but obvious Blizzard and Jay are on the same page.

D3 is the last "blizzard" project I will buy. Sucks to say =( I had every product from WC1 -->Cata. I lost my taste for blizzard products in BC. D3 is a sad shell of what it could have been. SC.. meh, the whole 3 seperate games hehehehe thing turned me off from sc2.

Originally posted by zymurgeist Whats really sad is the guy you quoted doesn't even know the real PR speak for fired. That would be, "So and so has left our company to pursue other opportunities". New ventures such as a line at the nearst unemployment office. That kind of double talk only really happens with really high up folks though, its to prevent lower tier workers from getting involved in upper office problems. Its best to keep a level of distance there. Being moved to a new project is almost always a promotion, or, in the very least, a lateral move to sustain key members of staff at a certain payscale in the company. In rare cases its a move, always lateral in pay, meant to insult the person by placing them in less valuable positions to make a point. Sort of similar to telling your managers they have to park in the back of the lot. Oh, sure, they still have their jobs. But now they get to do a walk of shame every day past ALL the staff. This is clearly not happening here, since D3 was a financial success. You simply don't insult the people who are turning profit for you.

Originally posted by Slampig Maybe he is confusing it with the regular AH. I stopped enjoy Diablo 3 pretty early on but was blinded by the money I was making on the RMAH. I did not spend a cent and managed to make over 200$ and buy myself a ps3 with it ;p I lost interest in D3 shortly after that when I realized I spent more time watching something on my other monitor then actually playing the game. |

If you watch Pulp Fiction you can see Jay Wilson at work at Blizz HQ. He is the one wearing the zipped up leather mask.
Playing: LoL / GW2 |

He didn't lose his job, he stepped down to work on another failure.
