@PezRadar I'm so lucky to have worked all these years with you, brother. Super happy for you and wishing you the best. Thanks for everything, and go kick some ass out there.

Some news to share with everyone: my last day at Blizzard will be on November 19th. This was my second time back at Blizzard in my career. It’s a company that means a ton to me, as it created my most memorable gaming experiences as I was growing up. Blizzard has become more than just the games for me, as it has for so many others here. It’s very much about the people, and I will miss them dearly every day. Team Diablo is a special part of Blizzard that I truly love. I have met some of my best friends and some of the smartest, most passionate people within this fold. These devs truly care and want what’s best for the players, and working with them through all of it was the best highlight of my day – every day. The opportunity to lead Community on the franchise that defined so much of what I would do in my career was a dream come true. I can’t thank the players enough for the Reddit threads, random tweets, late night DMs and more – sometimes with critical and much-needed feedback, sometimes to showcase your love for the game, and sometimes just a reassuring “thanks”. Every single one of those messages and threads means a ton. The stellar Diablo Community & Social Teams I’ve had the privilege of leading will continue carrying the torch after my departure, as they have since the beginning. Please keep bringing your passion for this franchise through your feedback, posts, and thoughts. The community team will be checking all our various spaces to ensure everything is relayed back to the dev team. Diablo has a ton coming up, and I can’t wait to see it all unfold as the franchise heads into its 30th anniversary. Best of all, I get to experience this as a fan from the sidelines. It’s gonna be a wild ride! As for me, I have something new on the horizon that I’m incredibly excited about! I’ll talk more about it at a later date, but for now, I’m going to relish these final moments with this wonderful team here on Diablo.
