David kim, you should have gone away earlier since you only have been able to worsen a game which first chapter was awesome.
You should go balance tetris and probably you would ruin that one as well since you' re totally incompetent.
And I will always wonder if You ever played even only one game of SC 2 since you never understood anything of it.
Please go growing potatos.
I hope I' ll never hear of you anymore.

On the one hand, I'm glad that he's stating that he'll be working on blizz's new project so i can avoid it like the plague.
On the other hand, that means that blizz pulling ressources from SC2 multiplayer because it doesn't bring enough money has gone as far as re-allocating the "head" of the balance team, which means even less patches and changes.

Overall i guess that means changes for SC2 multi are done, which finally extinguishes the last hope people unsatisfied with LOTV.


I wonder if you did not read the post enough times or u just too (slow?) to process this? He himself wanted the change and there is no suprise after 6 years... you saw it with alot of ppl in Blizzard or anywhere else after some time the change is good. Im actually suprised that he were reading this toxic things for 6 years lol


How naive do you have to be to think that any PR piece issued by a employee of a major company can contain any truth past indisputable facts?

His post can be boiled down to :
- i'm leaving the SC2 team
- i'm gonna work on another Blizz project

Everything else is pure politics and communication. We don't know if blizzard didn't just reallocate him because they thought SC2 was a commercial dead end, and that it's presented as him leaving the team to smoothe things, for instance.

For sake... guys.. stop praying for SC3 or WC4 its not gonna happen.... and here is why:

"Blizzard Entertainment is seeking an experienced engine engineer to work on a robust first-person engine for an unannounced project." So it is not WC4 or any RTS

https://careers.blizzard.com/en-us/openings/oFop4fwg

Why do you keep quoting that? Blizzard can work on more than one unannounced game.

Ok there were lots of bad patches, like the queen range patch in WOL that actually murdered the game BUT that being said. the job was thankless and impossible and difficult. no matter what DK would do, his decisions would get shit on, so he handled that really well. at the end of the day thanks to his work there were still many great and memorable games of SC2, and he did the best he could with the tools he was given. its come a long way since unpatched WOL. Good job!

Good luck to you Mr.Kim and good riddance. The numbers speak for themselves. Viewership and playerbase kept declining through the years you were in charge and plummeted during the LOTV launch. Mr.Kim was a good PR but a bad game designer. I hope the new commander in chief does things better than he did. Blizzard gets to keep him and focus on another project that hopefully suits his skills more. Good news overall.

The argument that no matter what he would do, he would get shit feels very illogical to me, also feels pointless bringing that up. People will always cry and complain but thats how it is to express emotiotions, someone having a bad day, someone that doesnt think deeply about the subject at all and so on.

Arguments->all.
Voices->nothing in general

There were times when I liked what DK did , times when I didnt , but there is no doubt about it , he loved what he did and try to do his best , his heart was in the right place , ty DK.

On another note I HOPE THE OTHER PROJECT ISNT WC4 , I really dont want him of all people balancing that.

GLHF on your next project,

But I honestly think you should have stepped down earlier. After HoTS someone else should have been in charge of the balance not because the game is not balanced but because there was only 1 expansion left and something more drastic than we have seen had need to be done for the game.
