Weird video. People get new jobs all the time and there will be queues of capable people waiting to take the spot. You know your viewers will lap up any d4 bad news – are you just stoking them for engagement?
Just when we thought it would get better when turd ferg left.
hes quitting his job cause sailing is coming to runescape nov 19th
Blizzard has been cooked homie.
The game always been shit lol how is this a lost.. replace them all.
it’s that flag man, if they all go away it’s prolly good
Crazy this franchise in theory has unlimited resources and could have been the greatest arpg but there was just too many chefs in the kitchen. It’s ruined and trash. Oh well guess blizzard doesn’t like making money
There’s no more hope
This isn’t a loss, this is actually a gain.
A rainbow champion… This is good news.
This is rng expected. Blizzard don’t know what the f*** they are doing, and any choice they make is as impactful as a roll of the dice.
Wild times, as someone who’s grown up with the franchise , it’s a bummer to see. Ty for the update
given how bad the last 2 community chats have gone, not surprised. Wish him luck in his future endeavors.
the ship is sinking, everyone is running away ^^^
Lilith 1.0 wasn’t going anywhere anyway no matter who’s there or not. It’s been taken over by ghey buddy system.
Wow
I am curious why the community manager would be leaving.
Adam was the person that made me feel like Diablo was “coming back” when he started being there with D2R and D4. its sad that his positive energy wont be felt anymore but its understandable and I left the D4 scene since end of S6
Adam did a great job, but im still upset he promised relequary improvements in season 10, and then never acknowledged it when it didnt happen
+100% Damage on Thursday.
Another one fleeing the sinking ship. RIP.
Who cares diablo?
Nah, he did absolutely nothing good for Diablo franchise, for real. And the game is dead anyway. Already uninstalled along with battle net
This proves once more how BAD the current state of D4 is. There is no deny now.
Idk. The game has been in this state with a lots of veteran having a hand in the game. Maybe having fresh eyes is the way to go cuz yep, D4 isn’t what it should have been.
D4 Bad and they know it
it makes me chuckle when people cry all these people are leaving… then they cry how bad the game is… who do you think did it… i dooche bags that are leaving
🤷♂️
major loss? the guy didnt work on the game, he was the PR/TANK? hello? Raxx dumb video as usual
GOOD f him.. never liked the guy… Brandy was awesome..
Bruh,, we could see his soul crying for help in every campfire actually..😂😂😂😂😂 he had to quit
Oh no…
D4 officially in maintenance mode gg
What a joke, major loss is that the original diablo team that created D1 and D2 isn’t around anymore.
Maybe it’s a good thing. Staff rotation could be a good thing
I was afraid this gona happen, this one hurts the most man…
Diablo Immortal unironically needs to die first
Time for Diablo 5
Diablo 4 is a big loss for the franchise…..
Looking back, one can only say that the team did not do a good job, which is ridiculous, and the whole thing did not even come close to meeting expectations.
i wouldnt say D3 days was any good either the game has been a snooze fest since D2 maybe its time for some new ideas…
Massive loss lol😂😂.. how is it a loss when most important devs who created such a bag of shit leave? If anything, d4 superfans should celebrate.. they didn’t make d4 good in any way
Rats leaving a sunken ship.
I wouldn say it is loss, D4 is pretty much trash, dont think it can be worse…
Isnt he the dude that just mispronounces things and just fumbles all the campfire topics?
I think he just “Umms and ughhs” through all the ones that I’ve watched. Like how does a PR spoke person not know how to do public speaking. He was horrendous at his job. May be he was great behind the scene but it definitely did not show when he was presenting
Nooo, my eye candy during livestream is gone…. 😢 🏳️🌈
Good for Adam but it won’t change the game. It is broken and Blizzard does not care about actually fixing it at this point.
first the players leave, then the higher ups leave
Adam seems like a genuinely nice guy, but he never quite felt like the right fit for the Diablo franchise. Diablo needs someone with a darker, more mysterious, even intimidating presence—like Marilyn Manson or Wladimir Putin—someone who better matches the franchise’s tone. I hope Blizzard chooses a successor who truly embodies that atmosphere and represents the series appropriately, especially across its social media channels.
Best of luck, Adam!
Community management will be replaced by AI
reading ARPG tribalism and weird toxicity in comments is by far the best content there is. Better than playing ARPGs lmao
OK, so here’s my question. There has been so much shit talking about this game, then people that were involved (no matter what exact aspect, they were involved) leave, and it’s a bad thing?
Edit to add: I get it, Adam is a good guy, etc. But still, D4 is what it is, warts and all, while he is on the team.
Pride flag in bio? Bye bye loser
It’s time to put D4 in maintenance mode and make the, “We got it wrong.” video.
Tweet?
This happened to Diablo 3. Then new guys came in and made the game great.
Another one bites the dust?
Still a great game. Was a great joy to begin and for some time. It just does not have longevity of replayability in the way that it was meant to as a live service. Once you’ve played all the classes and used all the skills a few times, and grinded the loot over and again, it becomes less satisfying. I’ll probably hop on for nostalgia’s sake someday.🎉
He may have not been the Boss or Team Lead. But I’m going to assume that he knows that the Game and maybe even the company is struggling. Diablo 4 needs a major turn around for Blizzard to even consider a Diablo 5. I’m sure Fletcher knows that this is not happening anytime soon , if at all. The headaches of fixing Diablo is not worth the time and headaches.
lol — anyone who is surprised by people jumping ship is hilarious
Funny. Everyone keeps saying D4 bad, yet every time someone who was involved with the game goes, they start to complain as well.
RIP Bozo
He finally realised D4 bad
Dont worry. The expansion will make it all better. Overpriced in all. Lacking content or fixes needed. No paladin as they couldn’t do that in.
😂
After the D4 expansion story its clear they have alot of clean up to do in the personnel. A lot of woke ideology and gayness is blizzard studios, they need a shift in management or they are definitely over.
Hope the next community manager is Bluddshed, he’s alright
Let them fall apart
Major loss? Oh that’s right you haven’t been playing. Old content reworked to be slowed down. Endgame in a rpg would be cool.
That is actually good news but d4 is finished anyways
Ironically a Diablo game that died before even THE Diablo (in it) arrived
No shots at Adam at all but I don’t think a community manager is a giant loss. It’s not like Bex leaving crippled GGG.
I forgot about D4
Well maybe……… just maybe, they’ll start pulling away from D3 mind state and get people who want to bring diablo back to it’s once iconic state. Probably not but we can always hope.
That’s too bad. He had a calming persona.
LOL one less woke moron 🙏
most people move on from jobs every few years, i’m sure he just wants something new
after season 11 sad news, now this, downhill fast
You claim bad news but in reality he was there since the start and whether the guy was super approachable, kind, or even the bridge between community and devs, the problem still remains that Diablo 4 is not most peoples Diablo. They are trying to fix a dish that already has too much seasoning in the pot, and once that seasoning is in the dish, its really fricking hard to get it out, or you have to put more ingredients in it to create a larger portion to offset. At the end of the day, this is a project that just needs to move on to Diablo 5 with the lessons learned. Question is, will microsoft allow that. Diablo lost all my trust since after the season of the vampire thing, havent touched it, wont ever touch it again. And sure Diablo 3 recovered with Reaper, but pre reaper game was a mess also. I just feel like this is in a far worse state than Diablo 3’s situation however. I just hope D5 is somehow worse then D4. Make the peoples game, and stop adding all the trends from other games unless it’s a global win…like WASD.
But hey we got Project Diablo 2 on November 28th. Atleast those guys who aren’t even employed with Blizzard give a damn.
Dun-dun-dun. “another one bytes the dust”
Probably not that surprising. The Devs have been all over the place with regards to design. D4 has had no real identity or path to travel on. It’s a game of pick up sticks each season. One minute Chaos Armor and mega power and fun, the next minute take it all away and nerf every build. That’s going to drive any community relations person up a wall. Good luck to him wherever he goes.
Dead game
This is the 2ND Adam in 2 years!
This is not a loss. This is another loser that worked on the worst Diablo ever. It’s time to get some real talent back at Blizzard, or bring back some of the OG’s.
This is a huge loss for Diablo franchise.
He is the only one guy I never complained about !
It will not be easy at all to replace him.
They already tried and it was not amazing.
I wish him the best for the future and I hope my gamer life will cross his job road again.
Everybody can be replaced, everybody. The star is the game, nothing else.
Major loss? More like no impact. All devs responsible for this fail game should leave and make place for better
Yes they all getting shown the exit door one after the other. Their 2 year failure has come to an end. Let new blood in that actualy plays the game.
I have only seen him on the d4 patch panels and i did not like him, i think he was trying to hard to be funny and cool with the devs, it was so cringe every time, i dont mind he is gone.
Update about Diablo 4: I like POE a lot. 😂
Completely disagree. Him leaving has zero impact on Diablo 4 development/future. Great guy and super nice. Did a great job and I wish him the best. Developer leadership will make decisions regardless of anything Adam had to say.
Its a fucking community manager who cares
Worst Arpg on the market right now with that budget. Fire the hole team!
He will be replaced by AI.
The vision always starts at the top. That means the entire executive team needs to leave in order for D4 to move forward. Adam leaving won’t do anything for them to move forward. It just indicates that there are issues internally and the future of D4 remains even more uncertain now.
I played D1, D2, D3, D4, I need a frame of light for blizzard to give the paladin/crusader in D4
Mephisto is coming
no its not.
Everyone left 2 decades ago..
oh No…. Anyway
Ya played one D4 season you have played them all!
Not a writer, not music producer, not character designer, just some CM with rainbow flag in his bio, seems like some activist more than someone passionate about blizzard games, literally who cares, some loss he is. Actiblizz is just skinwalker wearing Blizzard’s carcass at this point, i don’t know why anyone would remain working in there anyway…oh right, for breast milk, i guess.
ill say this for the 12th time. All they had to do at least from the very start was to COPY /PASTE d2 with d4 graphics and new Lore/ classes. BUT NOOOOOOOOO
I always thought that Adam was pretty slick when he presented anything.
What has he honestly done that brought value to the game?
Yeah D4 bad or whatever, but people read too much into stuff. People move on from jobs all the time and there may not be any drama or juicy details beyond “I want to do something different”.
The “good, he made the game bad” and “now the game is definitely doomed” don’t seem to understand what his role was. People just want to be negative and don’t care if what they are saying makes sense.
It was so easy to do a renew diablo 2 with all the new characteristics and the d4 Style. But no they had to do a copy of d3 which was shit
They need to make it fun after your season journey.Give the players exciting things to do apart from crappy pits and the tower which is basically the pits with a new skin.
The game is shit. People leaving is not a loss lol
I Hope D5 will flop so hard, Blizzard will be Sold to Tencent.
He deserves better
Blizzard is not Blizzard anymore …. just get it in your heads. Dont buy there products thats the most you can too!
leaving a slowly sinking ship 😂😂😂
Is it tho? D4 has and always will be a scam.
I mean, if I was him I would have left a long time ago. Wouldn’t want this game to tarnish my reputation either.
Game sucks it’s not that big of a loss
Sad and unfortunate but I’ll never blame someone for trying to better themselves. I look forward to seeing him thrive in his new adventure as I’m certain he’ll do. As for D4, we’ve been taking that season by season as it is so not really much changes in terms of expectations. I hope for the best either way.
I got a feeling they all working on the new ARPG with the old diablo dev veterans, moonbeast productions
What a shit game.
Fuck D4 Fuck Blizzard!
Might not be such a major loss tbh, he might be a nice guy to talk to irl, but I paid for the product and only thing I can see is, that the game is in horrible state and he might have very well been a part of that. OR maybe he was not at all, just stating a probable facts, no hate towards the dude mind you.
Hopefully they will do a real d2lod successor
Path of Exile 2.
He is just one of the Guys that has a Brain and does the right thing KEKW Who in the right Mind want to Work for this Shitstain Company
Everyone’s leaving, yet Diablo has not even arrived.
If he has been involved in D4 since the beginning and the game has not improved at all… What’s the loss?
Actually recently, big companies had this trend of firing thousands of their employees.
Sleepy joe still around?
Tbh as much as I liked some of the fireside chats. Most of them were boring and never answered real concerns. The dev interviews were multitudes more informing on what is happening in the future. As to fireside chat half of the time was just minor changes to what we already knew from the PTR and never deep enough to get a good grasp of all the changes. Sad that people leave and he was good, but at the same time he probably saw no way to make things better and choose the right option for him.
So… many people have left blizzard and Diablo team. You say they are all great people and professionals. I wonder who is responsible with this joke of a game D4 is? Who should we blame for lack of knowledge and terrible vision if all those veterans are amazing?
Yeah sure it’s sad that he’s leaving but at the same time all the guys that are leaving were involved with Diablo 4 in its current state so in order for some real changes to be made maybe more of them need to leave too
So what is the legacy that he left? D3 D4? I don’t get it. He left the ship to sink.
jajajajajajaja xD
Shareholders can take d4 and shove up their taint at this point. igaf if they released 14 expansions tomorrow im never touching that bs again.
bye blizzard!
D4? Bad
I thought the guy died with that headline😐😐😐
That sucks, Adam was the goat.
All negativity aside though, Diablo 4 is feeling the funnest it has ever been for me.
Why? Has he produced something really worth mentioning for D4? It looks like he will be replaced by some generic “other guy” and everything will move forward in the same blunt direction.
not really a loss when nothing has gotten done with this fucking game for the better…. One less glazer for a shitty game.
Maybe if they had put more effort into making the game fun than milking players dry with their insidious microtransaction nonsense this wouldn’t have happened.
Even people working there are like D4 BADM IM OUT
Dont buy the addon
Don’t
Don’t
Don’t
The game is so good, that everyone who worked on it is leaving the company one by one.
you love to see it.
He is the part of the reason why this game garbage. Not a loss at all. Chance for direction shift, positive changes with new better team members.
seeing how the game of d3 and current d4 i wouldnt say losing him or Rod is a bad thing. clean house and maybe it will get better because s11 aint it
Do people realize the games user base is artificially inflated… the games sold terribly and worse most just stop playing after under an hour. 90%. Blizzard does this, to push in game sales. Immortal was 99% fake flow … and all the sudden you get the story. Someone got duped into spending 20k…. 😂😂😂. Ya. Sucker.
They need to just let it die and work on something better with an actual good team.
I saw this one coming. He was gradually backing out of the spotlight. Wish him the best. Cool dude.
d4 is dead, stop playing it so blizzard gets the message
He was a community mannager, not involved in the game development. I have the feeling its a good move.
This game is dead like how many people will leave this game
Disgraceful
I see this as an absolute win!
And how has that worked for D4? I mean … seriously….. with the state the game is in… Maybe some fresh blood is what the game needs.
finally leave😂😂😂
Good thing we have actually good ARPGs like PoE1/2 and LE.
I mean is it a loss? Nothing has happened in D4 11 seasons in with him there
Project Diablo 2 better and Poe is better
Diablo had a good run. It’s officially over after this.
Adam has always been awesome. I’ve seen him around for a long time since gears of war. He will do great in whatever is next. Hope the absolute best for him.
No surprises and I also don’t really care anymore
10 seasons and still no Diablo in game.
To me, as a 30,000 hours of diablo in my lifetime . He was nothing to me but a very Nasal and Annoying voice. He was otherwise fine in his role. But ultimately, not a huge deal.
Game is so doomed lmao
He definitely did a good job. The campfire chat is a very good format for communication. The devs don’t have enough content to fill the chat isn’t his fault.
Ill say it season 11 gunna be dog shit.
I guess barebones manpower ISH now means season updates in blogs lol.
He isn’t even a dev, what kind of low effort bait is that? Feedback means nothing if the people making the actual decisions don’t know what to make of it.
Thank goodness. Please remove all the DEI and weird people
Adam was always such a presence. It’s easy to direct a lot of shit at community guys, and Diablo is one of those where you can really get barraged by its enthusiastic community (for better and worse). He locked it down during those couch streams, kept things moving, and I always saw him responding to individual queries on socials too. He’ll be missed, and it’s a big loss for Blizzard.
Fun fact if this did not gave Diablo stamped on it most of us never played ir and never even known these people soo yeab whatever
Another one dang . They all seem to see the sinking ship and go.
Its time to put this game to rest. Its been long enough.
ripbozo d4
Is it really a major loss? I mean, look at the state the game is in…
Is there anyone left there?
Wouldnt this be a good thing? Nothing he did worked so you must try new things
Whats up with all the negativity? D4 is still a very fun game. Sure it can be better but can you not get hundreds of hours out of it? Such a weird community.
Didn’t he just get promoted?
Those were no big shoes to fill
So….. any news on D5?
Always seemed like a good guy stuck behind corporate BS. Hope he winds up somewhere like GGG or an indie dev where he can speak more truth to the community and be even more effective. Best of luck out there, Adam!
Thats the thing, GO WOKE GO BROKE… d4 is a woke shit for a while now. It has everything to do with all the trans thinkers working out there.
Hopefully he goes on to find a better game to build a community with. Blizzard continues to be a cesspit of casual-gamer design decisions and woke garbage so I don’t blame him for dippin’ out.
ROFL…
D4 was “lost” from season 0…
so how bad can this actually be???
Who the f still keeps playing this game lmao
Expected, this game and company are obviously so lost. 10 seasons in and they havent done anything but keep remaking the same things over and over
Lol, not a loss. The game already was piss poor with his contribution.
Eh who cares God himself could work at blizzard and it still would be a shit show
Highest populated arpg 😊
THAT’S A LOT OF DAMAGE
It’s a community guy… the game isn’t good (or bad, in this case), because of a community guy.
The amount of people that think Adam had anything to do with development of D4 is wild. He was the Community manager lmao (edit) -what i mean is everyone complaining how diablo 4 plays and why its bad, Adam is literally the most helpful wholesome dude, just disappointed people are sending so much hate his way. Its the internet so what can ya do
Who knows, if without him D4 gets better – maybe it’s for good. A bit of copium here.
Wow, he didnt have impact on the game, always mispronounced usernames and was more interested in smoothies then a campfire.
I wish him well but let’s not pretend D4 will be off worse with him gone
Blizzard is currently giving Diablo 4 more damage than it actually does in-game. LOL
D4 STILL BAD NO WAYYYY!
:O shocking news !
I lost hope for this game after season 3. Its really sad to see the state of Diablo. It was my favourite franchise from blizzard until it got run into the ground.
Adam had one of the hardest jobs in gaming. Best of luck bro.
D3>D4.
The guy who laughs about Sorcs needing buffs right before patch notes drop with sorc nerfs. Not a loss.
This game is seriously cooked.
bro d4 is crap while he was there. he is part of it. lets not sugar coat it omfg
This is what happens when the project you’re involved with is shite.
This game basically has a nice look to it and no soul. It’s like that superficial girl you went to high school with. All looks, no soul.
That’s really a shame and I wish him well. Honestly still kinda regret buying D4 and VoH when PoE 1 and 2 are so phenomenal and only getting even better every few months. And with Titan Quest 2 on the way the ARPG genre is only getting better competition.
2:42 does he mean the patch that was last night?
If he can handle PR of D4 he can do anything. Great entry to his resume.
Just a community manager, nothing important, and btw all D4 devs suck big time, brunch of incompetent people
Big oof. Hopefully he can get picked up by GGG
Damn, they lost some great ppl before the expansion.
Always liked Adam. Hope to see him again.
I wonder if Bluddshed will take over
He just cringe hosted streams
Look im not saying this is the thing marking the death of the game because i think everyones felt a bit of something for quite awhile regarding this but this is definitely not good and i feel like the games gonna need a ground up reform to truly redeem itself but maybe im wrong
Diablo 4 should be considered one of the biggest failures in the games industry. Take one of the biggest IPs and completely destroy it out of greed. What a joke.
I hope on a D5 soon with D2 rules and 18+ gore/sexual content.
diablo 4 is beyond repair. nobody cares now lol
Best news ever. This guy did nothing for this game except lied and smiled the whole time.
Stockholders
sorry
Blizzard is a dumpsterfire of poor decisions killing good games and ideas for profit
People switch jobs.
It’s not good news and it’s not bad news. The next person could literally make great changes to the game and make it even better.
No1 wants to say buy ti adam. He gave us this pile of shit
D4 cooked
WHAAAAT??? what the hell blizzard is doing???
Yes more hate, misinformation, and misery!!!!! 😈 💯
Yeah im preaty sure there is a lot going wrong at blizzard in the past few years and now they get the bill for that. I feel sorry for all the veterans leaving the company and the loss of great experience
Thank God one freak down couple thousand more and we might get a diablo game.
Everyone calling this a loss needs to relax a bit. the community’s been asking for a Diablo 4 with real endgame, faster better updates, and a game that’s actually fun for everyone. Big congrats to Adam for moving on to something new. respect to him for his work and making room for fresh, passionate devs/community managers who might finally help Diablo 4 reach its full potential.
Honestly, I don’t even mind waiting for Diablo 5 if it means we get a team that’s truly passionate about the franchise again. Passion is what makes ARPGs great games and true Diablo franchise enjoyers know Diablo deserves that fire back.
Put the fries in the bag, Adam. D4 wasn’t even good.
sooooo honestly, now I’ve lost any hopium for Diablo franchise. Go with peace Adam
But honestly.. Adam as the director of marketing joined for years and showed very little improvements for D4..
Guess we know Diablo 4 is really done for….
The writing is on the wall, everyone is getting out while they can. It’s easier to get a new job while you still have a job. Game is honestly cooked, and has been for some time now.
D4 team is going in the wrong direction.
rod was useless, diablo 3 and diablo 4 were both embarrassingly bad compared to what they should have been. the only people up to the job on either game were the art departments. everyone else should never have been part of those games.
What noooooooo!!! He will be really missed. Such a familiar and comforting face around Diablo
Doesn’t really matter how good/bad you are at managing a community if you don’t have a game that requires it. D4 is made for extremely casual players that pay no attention to anything going on with the game outside of logging in to a screen telling them there’s been an update and/or new cosmetics.
As a 20+ year Diablo fan, S11 was the final straw and I switched over to POE2 last week. It was a tough start with lots of video watches and tutorials and the Act 1 Boss almost made me quit but now, I totally get the hype. I’m having a blast and see the difference between the 2 in terms of quality, itemization, journey to endgame, monster mechanics, etc. etc. This news just serves to reinforce my decision to switch and make the leap. I was sad at first as I still maintained some hope that Blizzard would listen to the players and make a better product but seeing the new Masterworking, power nerfs, reduced build variety and viability, no new endgame content, and more, 2+ years into the game and 10 seasons later, I lost all remaining hope. What’s the definition of insanity?? 🙂
I am not surprised at all. I saw the interview with collin and the other dude from the dev team and rax. There were alot of hate in the chat especially against Adam it was insane. He was in the chat there and writing. So sad that the mods didn’t do shit about it. No bans or time outs or whatever. The worst experience I ever had in raxxes stream.
Nah c’mon now, this isn’t going to be bad at all lmao. With the shift of the Diablo team being very transparent and community feedback driven over the years, the loss of a community manager will have no impact at this point in time. Now granted Fletcher was very likely a HUGE part in that shift of mentality. But its borderline impossible the D4 team will now go back to be secretive and non-open to the community all of a sudden.
Its just some PR guy who never posted on the forums
Lol maybe hiring people who hate video games just isn’t a good strategy
Raxx, I can’t imagine anyone more qualified that YOU to be the next Community Manager. I’m serious.
“these devs truly care and want what’s best for the players” 😂 sure.
that tells me all I need to know about that state of D4 and Blizzard …, so sad
Just hire Abby from the Skycraft team of Arcticstorm Entertainment
look man . I like you , but I really don’t believe you are authentic about this, if you truly wanted improvement and good changes for the game you wouldn’t be so limp dicked at the blizz interview you had , nothing of substance was asked, no inconvenient or provoking questions , just friendly chat about how great everything is and what’s not – it will be, “trust us bro”, you really dropped the ball with that interview man
Adams awesome. I wish him the best. Looking forward to seeing what team he joins next.
Losing people that had anything to do with D4 is not an issue.
I’m surprised he held out for so long. That guy deserves way better than working everyday in that dumpster fire of a company
Adam seems like a nice guy, but this game has been stale for 11 seasons of powers. He is not a developer, he is basically a PR guy. The decision makers didn’t listen to the feedback when he was there and they won’t listen to the new person’s feedback. Sorry, this move is a non-factor.
I dunno – He did nothing to directly impact the game’s direction other than communication. I think anyone that’s kind and extroverted can be a bridge to the community. Not a hard job imo
bye he is part of the crap
Something something rats something something ship
d4 bad
D4 literally can’t lose anything, you need to have something of value first which the game doesn’t.
D4 is in a pretty tough shape, and more than 2 years after its release things haven’t improved a lot. We haven’t seen a situation like in D3 where Reaper of Souls saved the game, we’re still at D3 vanilla stage, still struggling to find a direction for the game… Adam was there at least helping to understand what’s going on. We will miss him.
I remember one saying before leaving the ship that D4 Roadmap is good for 10 years.. but they lied since launch about a lot of things, that we don’t believe them one cent.
Can’t wait for Frosty to make a video about the Downfall of it..
Release the Blizzard Files!
His comment of ‘smartest, most passionate people within this fold. These devs truly care and want what’s best for the players’ is just a straight up lie proven time and time again.
Sinking ships and rats I suppose. Nobody wants to fix this mess.
Nooooooo 😭😭😭
Yeah, capable people find better spots than D4, not good for the game, not good
I really hope D4 will die as soon as possible and will be put on life support as soon as possible, so they can focus on D5, and then miracle will happen and that game will actually be a good ARPG with proper Diablo feel. Then i woke up with wet pants.
Even devs dont see any future for this game and they know its time to abandon sinking ship before its too late. Good for him
why being emotional for a dead company in the first place, he may was a nice guy but he deserves a better place than shitty blizzard.
Blizzard can die, nobody will miss them (the era of their good games was over when activision took over, MSC will make it even worse)
I don’t blame him at all. If I were in his place, I would have left that dump a long time ago.
at this point the should just bring out a xpac for d3.
Who cares. Diablo 4 is cooked and he’s part of the problem
At least Colin is still around to ruin the game some more
Maybe just let the devs figure it out. Stop giving them feedback, seems to only make the game worse lol
So the human side of it set aside. Dont wanna see people losing jobs.
Losing anyone on a team responsible for this game CANT be that bad of news. Nice guy or not. The game hasnt been good, kept getting worse and were only hoping the next updates will be better.
Again, sorry to see anyone become unemployed but.. idk i dont like the community side of this game either, theyre wildly out of touch, constantly trying to temper expectations from the players who allowed this franchise to have a 4th installment who just want to see it be decent. Noone responsible for gameplay/leadership on the d4 team did a good job. Graphics and animations are all clean and sweet but. The game blows unfortunately.
Adam seems like a cool guy but I dont see how that changes anything for D4. The game was trash when he was there and will still be trash after.
d4 is bad and dead for a while, who cares
Yea we’re losing everyone good, I swear if Colin goes 💀
Everyone slightly competent has left or is leaving the company. They’re gonna be left with only trans devs hired for their diversity, working their first job, put in charge of this mammoth of a franchise.
Blizzard soon or later is going to understand that, D1 and D2 is what makes Diablo…Diablo. D4 is a reskin of D3. Blizzard if you see this, back to the roots. D2R updates please! Thank you 🙂
Everything looks like: After the second addon D4 will going to the maintenance mode. And we dont get an Diablo 5.
Wait a minute… everyone has been bashing Blizzard for ruining D4 and now when they cut and run, everyone is sad for them??? Good Riddance.
It is either these people leaving were the ones that kept D4 bad all along ooorrr…. they had more passion than others and raising your voice means your head gets chopped first. We will find out very, very soon.
Yeah, Diablo 4 is pretty much done at this point.
one of the few people at blizzard who seemed good at his job
rip
all the OG D4 crew leaving, does this mean the new hires will improve the game finally?
He had too mutch self respect to stay lol
Back to mcdonalds 😂
🤣
Blizzard is clearly just milking games and employees that can “milk experience” will do the same as much as they, as long as they can. I would do the same
now even the most stupid of fanboy hopefully realizes that D4 has been dead right from the start .. its over … move on …
I don’t know why, but I have a different approach to these departures. I look at it from the perspective of a player who doesn’t like a few things about Diablo 4, and looking at the camp fires, I saw people who are leaving the game development. If these people were the ones presenting content that wasn’t exciting and looked more like copy-paste, won’t the game be better off without them?
As a stubborn Diablo fan, seeing this made me audibly sigh. I understand D4 is in a tough spot deserving ridicule. However, seeing this let’s you know everything isn’t good.
D4 should just be deleted and a new game should be made
I really loved d2 and d3
I fucking hate d4 so bad
Its just shitty game
Can you believe a Diablo game without a fucking Diablo for 2 years ?? And a DLC???
Iam just laughing now
Wrong person left! The actual developers making the game have to go! We don’t want another diablo 3 game.
This is sad news😢
Everyone’s talking about ppl leaving but no one’s talking about new hires 😢
Everyone is gone for d4
Diablo 4 is doomed, as i said. Even an nother team will nothing change.
Well shit. That’s really bad. Pezradar was a cool guy. They absolutely messed up with D4 I don’t know what they were thinking. From the beta I knew it didn’t capture the feeling that D2 and D3 had. Been playing the recent season of D3 and its night and day (also for some reason I get way higher latency in D4 vs D3, 60ms more in D4) I hope things can improve but honestly they shouldn’t have had so many devs who’s first game ever was D4
Adam fletcher is gone….. Genuinely the best dude on the panels
Guess they will end d4 after this expansion. I have a bad feeling for d4’s future. So sad to see Adam leaving 😒
i cant wait to see the powers in s16, or the re-itemization.
I’m not even surprised anymore… it’s been a bleeding game for so long
Its so over
