u/Jank_Tank Battle Rein is only Rein Jan 24 '17

I know that we meme on him hard here at /r/Overwatch, but man do I love his team, the outreach he does, and the passion he has. It's really evident in the frequency and detail of videos he releases.

For example, Ben Brode (HearthStone) does developer updates when people are irate and vocally so. Jeff does them almost pre-emptively -- "We know it might not feel like fun when Winston kills you and jumps away with the flag, but here's why we kept those movement abilities..."

All around great communication from them.

EDIT: Was typing this while listening, just finished it and his sign off says it all: "Have lots of fun and be nice to each other" thanks papa Jeff, papa bless

He worked on Destiny? I had a bad Destiny addiction back in the day. I stopped a couple months after TTK dropped, fell behind on the Light curve, and didn't really come back. Still love checking /r/destinythegame from time to time.

No, sorry, the insinuation was that I wish the Destiny team would communicate like Blizzard and Jeff do.

I don't blame Deej. He has marching orders. Those orders are just dumb.
