Diablo 3 has gone full popamole.

[potatojohn]

o_O

D1/D2 were already full popamole.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Blizzard is going down the shitter, why is that, Codex? Why?

 

[made]

What's he trying to say? His record of great years at Blizzard is going to be killed by Diablo? Or... Diablo is going to kill Blizzard? I don't understand

Whatever the case he's a retard. While Blizzard games suck hard, their workplace looks like a cool place to work. Plus he was a senior producer, so he probably had a good paycheck. Lastly it's not a good idea to trash your former employer publicly when you're kinda a big deal yourself. Future potential employers might see this when they look up his name, and it would hurt his chances since no one wants to hire a grumpy wumpy.

Evidently, to some individuals, speaking their mind is more important than maximizing potential emplyoment options. If only his CEO had done a better job instilling a sense of pessimism and fear.

 

[attackfighter]

You don't leave from a senior producer position before the game has gone gold under "normal circumstances". My take is that he was let go because he disagreed with the consolification of the game.

Oh wow I completely misinterpreted what he had to say. D'oh.

 

[aleph]

Why is this in General RPG?

 

[Zed]

Why is this in General RPG?

Cuz it's an RPG. Any mod that disagrees can move it out but I won't. However, if there are too many threads on D3 here I'll start merging them.

Steve Parker​

Yeah, probably should have used a better verb than "kill it" about D3. They're going to do an amazing job.​

Steve Parker​

Bad phrasing on my part. I mean they're going to do a great job.​

A Senior Producer holds a supervising role in development. Could be that he simple wasn't needed anymore.

Steve Parker: Guise, this game has way too many bugs to be released yet, we need to postpone the release date.
Kocktick: Well, Steve, these have been nice five years with you aboard our company. You've done an amazing job, but we feel that it's in the company's best interests to let you go now.

 

[Zed]

I meant; They probably have other people to supervise the parts of the game that aren't ready yet. Who knows.

Whatever the case he's a retard. While Blizzard games suck hard, their workplace looks like a cool place to work.

Yeah, I'd totally want to work in place where the sense of pessimism and fear would be constantly instilled into me.
I mean who wouldn't?

Maybe he's one of those few people who value integrity and self respect over selling their asshole to the highest bidder?

(as long as they aren't really desperate, but I wouldn't count on this particular fellow getting desperate)

 

[Infinitron]

Guys, "kill it" is not a bad thing. It's a compliment.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

We figured that out by now.

Kwantards and their stupid language.

 

[Chuck Norris]

He used the most retarded way of complimenting. He actually had to explain about it in his next tweets.

D3 is clearly a rush job.

 

[Andyman Messiah]

Fucking americans and their shitty use of the english language.

Also Diablo was always shit.

Precisely.

I am not a native speaker, but when reading that I thought that he meant that they are going to make it big time, or something like that.

 

[RK47]

Killer game is probably what he meant to say.

Same here.

I always thought of, "Made a killing" as being incredibly successful, since it implies you were so successful, it was as good as killing your competition.

 

[Forest Dweller]

I don't think so. Considering the context and how he was just let go, I doubt he was using the phrase in that manner.

 

[Vault Dweller]

First, "kill it" is a fairly common phrase. It means "overwhelming success".

Second, who says he was let go?

Damn you're a retard

This was my reaction too. You must remember many Codexers aren't hip to Americanisms.

Most sane people refuse to accept the Retarded States way of saying one thing and meaning the opposite.

 

[DraQ]

Americans are fucking retarded.

 

[Black]

Fucking amerikkkans destroying not even their own language
THE SHIT- something very good
KILL IT- make it amazing

Hitler gassed the wrong people.
