He should have retired after wotlk... just saying ;p
In all seriousness though, fuck him for taking away 10 years of my life...

I have a feeling that on some level, this guy is getting older now and looking back on what he's done and thinking, "Man, I fucked up. It's time to stop."
Yeah he made money, but that's because people buy hype, not good writing.
Thanks Chris, we all thought it was time to give it up quite a few years ago.

I feel bad because he and his friends brought a lot of people joy with their work back in the day, but he just didn't have the chops to steer the franchise into the future. My knee jerk reaction is to me mad at him for 'ruining' WoW, but I think I'd just rather hope that he has a happy life working on other projects

I think he regressed massively as a writer. "Let's take this revolution... Into overdrive!!"
His writing in the 90s made for pretty decent, if pulpy, videogame stories. In recent years he's been phoning it in and if I had to guess, I'd say he's been exposed to too much cringey nerd shit at conventions, inspired by his characters, to be able to take any of this shit seriously anymore.

If I was him, I'd retire too after destroying that many franchises.

What exactly? They're still making money hand over fist. What is it with people here and hating things that make money?

The ultimate power over something you are responsible for creating is that to destroy it.

He's gone out on top, Legion is a blast, and I said I was never coming back to wow. Livin the dream buddy, enjoy retirement.
I don't play games for story so I can't comment on that.
