Ghostcrawler announced this morning on Facebook that he will be leaving Blizzard Entertainment to pursue a "great opportunity for something new and exciting". I don't usually share my opinions in news post, so there's a tweet with my full thoughts on the subject.

Re: Ghostcrawler to leave Blizzard Entertainment
He mentioned a better opportunity has arrived...so there's your reason. People leave jobs all the time if something better comes up. So I think what you heard was false rumors. People make that stuff up all the time and never think someone left on good terms.AdamSavage wrote:I read somewhere, that he didn't like the direction WOD was going with the game, and was butting heads with the CEO. I have no idea if this is true, or why he is leaving. I have mixed feelings about it.

Re: Ghostcrawler to leave Blizzard Entertainment
And I'm wondering who's going to be replacing him, both in his official role and as a public face for the company. It may not be the same person who performs both. In fact I'd be pretty certain it wouldn't unless it's someone already well known.

Re: Ghostcrawler to leave Blizzard Entertainment
Having said that, he looked different to me in all the videos from Blizzcon. He looked more gaunt and unhealthy and his eyes looked more sunken. I hope the real reason for his departure is not health related but this makes me wonder even more than I have been about this.

Re: Ghostcrawler to leave Blizzard Entertainment
Or the guy who insisted that a toon not at level cap was not a "legitimate" toon?
A bit of palindromic wisdom:

I haven't forgotten. Thus why I said I have mixed feelings about him leaving.Sukurachi wrote:Am I the only one who remembers him as the guy with abrasive responses to player questions?

Re: Ghostcrawler to leave Blizzard Entertainment
Some of his replies made me raise an eyebrow, or ticked me off, but to be fair, I read some of the questions put to him, and they were put in this "how can you be so stupid?!" tone that would get anyone's back up. I imagine having to deal with that over time wears one down. I also heard that back when changes were made to mages, I believe, he received an awful amount of abuse, including threats. I honestly hope that he receives less bile and vitriol with his next project, and that he is happy with it.Sukurachi wrote:Am I the only one who remembers him as the guy with abrasive responses to player questions?
