It's 2014.
You're writing code in Sublime Text, managing projects in Trello, and building UIs with Bootstrap 3.
You don't know it yet, but this is as good as things will ever get, and it's only downhill from here.
Art imitates life as the cast and crew of Mythic Quest are laid off and the last episode patched by Apple to 'say goodbye, instead of just game over'. https://t.co/Zowjc9jQLg
Southern California is where Blizzard began and is near and dear to our hearts. To support those impacted by the wildfires, Blizzard is donating USD $1 million to @DirectRelief’s efforts in providing immediate and long-term aid and resources... https://t.co/YT0SQ5yzsw
Here’s what I’ve learned from speaking to ~5 employees who worked with Mark either at blizzard or RED5:
He did not “save wow from being canceled”. He was apparently mostly involved with non-technical work at blizzard (EULAs) was erratic, and famously difficult to work with.

Dear Players,
Important message: XDEFIANT IS SUNSETTING!
Thank you for your incredible support and dedication to XDEFIANT. We regret to inform you that we are initiating the sunset process starting today, December 3, 2024.
As a result, new downloads, player registrations and purchases will no longer be available.
Season 3 will still launch. The servers will remain active, and the game will be fully playable until June 3rd, 2025.

Please note that processing these refunds will take up to 8 weeks. For more details on refunds, please visit https://t.co/qe4cCr9mPh.
Below is a personal message from our Executive Producer, Mark Rubin.
Thank you for being a part of our journey.
Some of you might be feasting this week, so we're here to kick things off for everyone with some Double Battle Pass and Weapon XP!
From now until December 2 at 6AM PT/ 2PM UTC, enjoy double xp to help chase those camos and attachments or finish out the battle pass.
To be crystal clear there are NO plans to shut down after season 4. I've literally been in meetings as of last week to discuss our Year 2 plans. But, right now we are super focused on improving the technical experience (which includes netcode) and adding more content for Seasons 3 & 4. We have done very little marketing so yes our numbers are down but that is just to give the team the time to get the game in a better place before we do bigger spends on marketing to bring new players to the game and to bring back players that have left.
After two decades of relentless dedication and countless adventures, a World of Warcraft player has finally conquered a legendary milestone—securing their 1000th mount!
