After 11 years, I am leaving Blizzard. Hearthstone is an incredible game. To have played even a small part in its creation is an honor I'll never forget. Thank you to all the players, and a special thank you to my fellow game creators. I am proud of all we built together. https://t.co/zhc0PBuOke

      @IksarHS SIR WHAT. Seriously though, I wish you all the best and I’m so thrilled to have watched you grow from our training class all the way up. I know you’ll kick ass wherever you’re going, and I can’t wait to see what you do next!

        @Nimithiriel Now it’s up to you to hold it down for our hiring class… Thanks for all the support early in my career… and you were a pretty good landlord, too :)

          @IksarHS Literally all I remember about you living here was you grinding HS. There were days we wondered if you were okay, but hey it all worked out pretty good it seems 😁 Also dang, am I really the last one?

            @Nimithiriel @IksarHS I think 10 different people from Blizzard QA lived in this house over the years at one point or another. This house has supported more careers than GDC

      @IksarHS Hmm... you don't just leave a Game Director job to be unemployed. Something isn't right here.

        Posted 3 years, 3 months ago (Source)
        @ChaseVictory Lol I didn’t really think through how the word would be interpreted. I’m jobless for a couple weeks is all.

      @IksarHS Well it looks like I’m the most famous Dean in Hearthstone now. I’ll try to keep things together in your absence.

      @IksarHS I do hope who steps up to fill your void will be just as engaged with the community. I also feel this fits here: “People that talented are always on loan until they find a new challenge”. Best of luck in whatever you do next!

      • Iksar
        Posted 3 years, 3 months ago (Source)
