Jeff is a legend. When I first started at Blizzard I emailed him about the internal Overwatch playtest and shared some initial feedback. It was bold since at the time I was entry level and he was a Game Director. I asked if he had ~15 mins to chat and he ended up inviting me to lunch. Took me in his mustang to a burger spot and stopped by a Lenscrafters. I'll never forget his kindness and how down to earth he was. Truly one of the greats.

Here's my conversation with Jeff Kaplan, a legendary Blizzard game designer of World of Warcraft and Overwatch, which are two of the biggest, most influential games ever made. Jeff is one of the most genuine & awesome human beings I've ever met: kind, thoughtful, hilarious, and still & forever a gamer through and through. This was a truly fun & inspiring conversation. We talk about it all: the lows, the highs, the memes, the details of the game design process, and the new game he's been secretely working on: The Legend of California. I got a chance to play the game with Jeff, and it's incredibly beautiful (and fun). You can wishlist it on Steam now. I can't wait to play it with all of you! Conversation is here on X in full and is up everywhere else (see comment).

@ClimbingCoachX I think the hardest part is in mentality. Crowd, live stream, wife at the mid-floor. Man it’s just too hard.
