When will Aaron Keller QUIT??

[talloyer]

It gets more and more ridiculous his blog posts trying to be cheerful about the future of Overwatch "2" to the point I almost pity him for his lies. I think Aaron Keller shoud quit this company BY next year. Any further, Aaron will lose any right of getting Sympathy.

god i hope he gets sacked soon, shame he probably has a golden parachute and will probably get another cushy job in another place.

So you've never had a job with anything more than a manager to answer to? Nor worked for a company that requires all public content to go through a copywriting team for approval? Got it.

He Won't, blizzard is pretty much comprised of shills who will do literally anything for a paycheck..

Which is hilarious considering when the game starts imploding, those who shill for the paycheck will be the ones getting blamed and removed from the company.

All the respectable talent from the ow1 development team was purged from blizzard because they wouldn't shill, and said "no we won't put this predatory system in the game" they had integrity, and were purged for it

Blizzard went woke, now there going broke..

Why would a director of a game with 25 million monthly players quit?

Exactly because it is a Failed game with millions of players playing it. There is a Pressure, Aaron must work a lot, and he has limits.

Because the health of the playerbase is rapidly degenerating, which due to the game's higher level of complexity, makes its basically a time bomb...

Mainstream TF2 (valve servers) went though the same process after they introduced matchmaking into the game.. 3-4 years later the time bomb detonated and Mainstream tf2 became the cesspit it is today, any only continues to be profitable due to its extremely low upkeep costs, as well as being much less complex..

Overwatch will colapse once it detonates..

A large playerbase does not serve
as an indication of a healthy playerbase...

Is this the guy who tried to justify the punishment of a player for speaking in defense of Hong Kong claiming videogames, and blizzard, are not the place to engage in politics, while he was wearing pride symbols?

Hmm, I believe it was former CEO J. Allen Brack.

Sadly, I don't think it'd make any difference whether he is sacked or not.

The whole reason this game is in such a bad state is because Jeff Kaplan made promises he couldn't keep and then left leaving other people to clean up the mess. Overall, Aaron Keller has done an amazing job fixing problems with OverWatch and the new Dev team is leagues better than the old one in terms of receptiveness to feedback, community communication, and Fighting with higher-ups to keep as many anti-consumer practices out of the game as possible. Don't forget Aaron Keller is the reason we have free heroes at lunch now instead of needing to get to a certain level in the battle pass.

What did u want me to do lie and smile more like Keller? I did what I could and they wouldn't listen to me, we needed a PvE element to the game to keep the monetization higher ups wanted a meaningful way that the casual player base would put time into the game not just Quick play or random Arcade events. Upper management is short sighted and because of laziness will only attract a mostly competitive player base that will leave with the next big trending game.
