If you're regularly interacting with Hearthstone's social media sites, you know Ridiculous Hat. He has been the game's main source of communication on those channels for a while, and has done a tremendous job at it, always answering various queries from players and responding to feedback.
Well, that era is coming to an end, as his contract with Blizzard has concluded. While he is hopeful he'll return, he won't be representing the company for now. Hat, we wish you the best of luck in whatever comes next, and hope to see you again in the Tavern some day.
Quote From Ridiculous Hat brief update - my contract with blizzard has concluded. i'm hopeful to return, but i won't be available for hearthstone stuff after today thanks to all of you - the last couple of years have been so fulfilling and that's because of the team and the community
my social media presence will be greatly reduced in the near term - if i don't reply, please don't take it personally. thanks for understanding

Unsurprising that his contract is not renewed, because microsoft is the kind of scum that would get rid of community managers that earn the trust and likability of its customer base.
Hope to see him back at vshearthstone at some point, likely next year.
Hat was an OG and the improvements we saw when he joined the Hearthstone team were immeasurable. I hope he gets another contract with them so the community can keep that voice of knowledge.
