Interesting. Obviously Blizzard has marginalized this game to no end ever since it was launched and it's not unexpected that someone would have enough and choose to leave, especially someone that does development full-time. (of course it could also be another reason for leaving)

At this point, them out-sourcing anything BW-related to some other company would be a dream.

Also this explains the multitude of lingering bugs in the game in the last 2 months. I'm guessing he was the only guy in the company that still knew the codebase.

It is perfectly possible the Classic Team may no longer functionally exist at this point. The only sign of a Classic Team at all is any work being on W3 Reforged or the rumors of Diablo II Remastered.

At this point, without Grant, I highly doubt 2v2 ladder will ever happen.

Abandon all hope, if you still had any left. I'm disappointed by blizz's actions in the last 12 (or even more) months. My expectations for any development regarding BW died a long time ago. The blizz of the past is no more and as sad as it is, we have to face the fact: blizz doesn't care about us.
I believe we're back at the same point we were as before SC:R and it's on us, the communitiy, to take actions to keep our beloved game alive. Luckily there's the shieldbattery project and openBW as well as other initiatives we can and should support.
I do not feel I have a quote I would call my quote. You can quote me on this.

to be fair to Blizzard, it seems like Grant quit on his own. You can't necessarily just blame Blizzard since Grant is free to leave the company for any reason and at any time. No one knows the circumstances.

Feels like Blizzard/Activision just don't care about the classic teams anymore.

Well, it was worth buying remastered for the widescreen mode and the new graphics were nice I guess.

Development has dragged on way too long.At least they didn't completely fuck it up like War3 but it's disappointing how they've handled the game and the game deserved far better.

Last patch was just new ladder maps and avatars, is that all to expect in future?

???

Playing the game itself on Fish / ChaosLauncher back in the day was "epic". You are insanely negative, just leave and go play SC2 and practice for the next at home story cup then and stop talking.

Not to mention Gamei ladder, PGT, iCCup, SC2GG, the Korean scene back in the day....

You are clueless 100%
