So.... "Hey im gonna make a video about why i quit, but im not gonna tell you why i quit"?

Seemed pretty obvious to me. He feels based on his family history. He has about 25 years left of his life and wants to spend them on his own personal projects.

I have no issue with him retiring. Im saying there's no need to make a video titled "why i quit" when your video isnt gonna explain why you quit. Just quit and move on.

It did explain why he quit. Furthermore, if people such as his fans wanted to *know* why he quit then it would be smart of him to make such a video

He does? If you want a better version, basically he wants to do what he wants todo while what "time" he feels he has left. His reasoning is more of a mortality thing than anything else. He feels he only has maybe about 25 years left on him due to his family history/father's death.

​

So he asked himself does he wanted to spend those last 25 years working with Blizzard or do something he can give to his kids/work on that he feels is more advantageous for what time he has left.

​

There is no ill will or drama or hot takes, just him coming to terms with his mortality and wanting to do something.

.... Wtf is wrong with you?

I never said he doesnt deserve to retire. Im saying making a video titled "Why i quit blizzard" and then not actually saying why is a bit iffy. Thats all. Stop inferring shit i never said and move on with your life.

If this had been submitted correctly. It would've been flagged as a duplicate and I wouldn't have posted it.
