6/8/2023 0 Comments David kim diablo iv twitter![]() People leave jobs all the time, people need to calm down.Hello, and welcome to our latest Diablo IV quarterly update! We are excited to share some of the progress we’ve made on the game today.Īs is the case with many other game and technology companies at the time of writing this, the Diablo IV team has fully transitioned to working from home. If he goes to Dreamhaven, it will give me hope to be more interested in the proyects they're making! But for now, farewell, pretty sure he made a excellent job. Comment by Dwellinger on T13:48:43-05:00Įveryone from Old School times are leaving,and i wish them the best of luck! But i hope to the re-booted Blizzard (Dreamhaven) to make something new level as they did with WoW,because the only thing that will kill WoW is WoW,so if someone can do it,it's Dreamhaven :) Comment by Tomtauren on T13:49:31-05:00 Hundreds will leave a year in a VERY HEALTHY company of that size, no matter how great it is. I don't understand why other people don't understand math, but there you go. Blizzard has thousands of employees, so you have hundreds leaving a year with VERY conservative attrition numbers - 7 years average tenure - for a modern tech/entertainment company. For every 100 employees, assuming a job is 7 years (a good length of time), you have 14 leaving the business a year. The activison greed is going to cost them more and more great peopel Comment by Ultramerican on T13:47:55-05:00 Pretty much lol Dreamheaven is looking better and better. Waiting to see the news that he joined dreamhaven. That being said, the future of pc/console games doesn't look to good at blizzard, i hope they wake up sooner than later Comment by Nova5269 on T13:47:30-05:00 Probably he's off to a better work environment, just reading this article, as a software/game dev myself, i can imagine what he went through and what he was put through/expected of him. Removed Comment by reaptide on T13:47:11-05:00 Now we hope that Holinka will go away as PvP fixer designer, but forever this time, and not a goodbye but a final goodbye Comment by Gangme on T13:45:01-05:00 Has to really hurt seeing a good studio crumble and fail to maintain their products because a single person decide their salary is the priority, Comment by Gangme on T13:44:09-05:00 Glad to see the devs are not taking Koticks crap anymore. Part of me is still to this day salty about Starcraft 2 balance XD but: Farewell Mr Kim! Hope you find a good job ^^ Comment by Ballim on T13:39:19-05:00ĭun dun dun.another one bites the dust!.ĬatJAM Comment by jaggydrood on T13:39:26-05:00ĭamn, they're bleeding over there aren't they Comment by prosident on T13:39:41-05:00īest of luck to the man, although it sounds like a lot of Blizzard veterans have been quitting recently. Whatever his future plans, we wish David good fortune, and thank him for his many years of helping produce Blizzard games. His work on World of Warcraft is largely unknown, although it now seems likely that the intent was to finish his time at Blizzard wrapping up Shadowlands, rather than investing more time into an unfinished project. While some players have complained that StarCraft II metas became stale under Kim's direction, actual win rates were considered fairly well balanced and although it's too early to pass judgement, early response toward his Diablo IV interviews were very positive. Kim left the Starcraft II team in 2017, giving a heartfelt farewell as he moved on to what was then an announced project - now known to be Diablo IV. He moved to the World of Warcraft team last November, helping ship Shadowlands after nearly four years on as Lead Systems Designer on Diablo IV. In nearly 14 years at Blizzard Entertainment, he worked on almost every major franchise and was generally well regarded by the community, also achieving notoriety as a very competitive StarCraft player, cited as one of the top random format players in the world. Former Starcraft 2 Game Balance Designer, Diablo IV Lead Systems Designer, and World of Warcraft Principle Game Designer David Kim announced his departure from Blizzard Entertainment yesterday.
