[@Baxa125]

You are right. Other big companies learnt to perform fake personalities to make their speech sounds confident and passionate, but it doesn't work long term, people see them now what they are. Meanwhile these guys just make a great game and feel nervous while announce the game in which they put countless hours of their lives, and even then people can see their true character by such a small "non-professional" thing as trying not to cry from joy while giving the speech, these things fakers will never be able to perform.

It went from them laughing, to sending him hearts and love. The channel totally changed in the end, when I think they realized how much he cared and how nervous he really was.

Blizzard has also changed a lot of the original lore. Diablo 1 said, there was only 1 prince ... Albrecht. And King Leoric was killed by a man called Lachdanan, who was the captain of the army. Diablo 3 said, Leoric was killed by his first son, Aidan. Prince Aidan also is named as father of Leah. Lachdanan is forgotten and exiled. Maybe ... this is his ... Path of Exile.

I followed all things blizzard related for nearly 15 years and I’ve never seen a dev that truly cared about their game even a 20th of what I just watched on stage. I picked up PoE 5 days ago. I finished all the acts and am deep into mapping, and I’ve never ever played a game that is so complex and intricate, that is clearly made and immersed in care, this was my belief just in playing the game. It’s truly awesome that I can feel how much they care about their game just by playing it, and him struggling not to cry while unveiling it just shows that.

[@mrcasual_8215]

You should look at Chris Metzen, he is basically the blueprint for a dev who loves their game. Good Stuff From Chris thought and the GGG team.
