Ciaran Deasy "Keyrune"

"What ultimately broke me and my Blizzard career was I got called into the CFO's office and he sits me down and he says—he gives me a date which at the time was 2020 and was going to slip to 2021, but at the time it was 2020—and he said: 'Overwatch has to make [redacted] in 2020, and then every year after that it needs a recurring revenue of [redacted]' and then he says to me 'if it doesn't do [redacted] we're going to lay off 1,000 people, and that's going to be on you.' And that was the biggest fuck you moment I've had in my career, it felt surreal to be in that condition." The redacted figures are due to a confidentiality agreement signed by Kaplan. "As someone who's worked on a lot of games, made a lot of games, you get in these meetings where they're like 'Fortnite has 1400 people working on it, so if we just hire 1400 people and make it free-to-play, we'll make that money, right?' I had believed that I would never work in any place but Blizzard, I loved it, it was a part of who I was, and I thought that I was a part of it. And I literally thought I'd retire from the place. I never thought the day would come, but that was it. Luckily for Blizzard, that CFO is no longer there."

Me, about to release a game: 😅💦💦💦

"Mechanized door" 🤔

What did I miss? AI-something-something?

SAME BRO #Pokopia

So true.

When it all becomes too much, helping others in your life or community, in ways big or small can make it not so overwhelming. Opening a door, carrying groceries, making a donation, or as Ana says in Frozen 2, “Just do the next right thing.” 🫶🏻

PLEASE let there be an Arcanine in this game... #Pokopia

Now we're cookin'.

Less bigwigs, more big wags. *wag wag wag*

"I Am (not quite) All Of Me"

Playing Pokémon makes me feel like a kid.

"Because it reignites your sense of wonder and exploration?"

No, not exactly...

Yeah I prefer rich indulgence over tense denial. Life's enough of a challenge, let's spoil each other.

I was just checking which of my Pokémon is heaviest so far, and I did not expect the answer to be Butterfree. This guy's chonky as heck. Even beats Geodude, the literal rock.

A nice thing about Joycons is that you can use them onehanded.

People get so mad at Nintendo for making toys. They're a toy company!

Stay tuned.

👌

Happy Pokémon day.

Now gimme that Fire Red rerelease.

My coworkers were looking at two closeup shots of Leon yesterday and comparing his jawline. Yall RE sickos are built different.

Danced next to you for a bit. You looked GOOD.
