Founders leave Blizzard Entertainment

[Drewbacca]

Bill Roper worked on Warcraft 3. He even did promotions for it on The Screen Savers and G4. The founders are not exclusive to Blizzard north. Which is why Blizzard as the 'crown jewel' is not going to work as well for Vivendi.

The Diablo 2 formula was piss poor to begin with. The artwork sucked, and I hated the quests and the skill tree system. I liked how you could get through Diablo 1 without talking to the townsfolk or obsessing over arcane skills. It was the perfect evolution of Gauntlet.

Blizzard without Bill Roper is like Nintendo without Miyamoto. It's not a good sign at all, no matter how they spin it. I was considering The Frozen Throne, but I want no part of it now.

Frozen Throne is coming out within, like, two weeks. Why wouldn't you support Blizzard? It's not Blizzards fault, and Roper even said that Blizzards name meant quality... so you're not doing anybody any justice by depraving yourself.

Last Tuesday, actually.

What everyone has already said was something along the lines of "three members of Blizzard North... and Bill Roper." You're not reading hard enough.

Okay omfgninjas, but Bill Roper worked on Blizzards Warcraft 3 and I believe Starcraft, which means that the franchise could be hurt. So the original statement was no false.

This isn't a big deal.
