Twitch will be reinstating Donald Trump's account today, Twitch tells me:
"We reinstated former President Trump’s channel. We believe there is value in hearing from Presidential nominees directly, when possible. Trump is now the official Republican nominee for US president."

Hey, it’s not ok to run someone’s name through the mud. I don’t like when it happens to me or my peers. Developers are more than just a few features they’ve worked on. No person unilaterally makes decisions on a massive game like WoW. It’s a team effort, win or lose.

During the development of Plunderstorm, we playtested A LOT, usually at least 3 times a week. Everyone gave a lot of feedback daily. We tried a lot of things. One example: The original map we were using was Drustvar but the verticality was bit… tough to navigate 😅

I talk about it a lot but working on WoW is just awesome. My whole life is consumed by WoW. I work on WoW during the day then immediately play WoW at night. Between WoW Classic, Mythic Nzoth reclears, and Shadowlands beta, you’d think I’d be burnt out. Not even close.

I’ve worked with Holly for several years now. If it wasn’t for her and her dedication to people, I’d be in a very different point in my life. I owe quite a lot to her, and to see her up on stage and get the love and support she deserves makes me cherish all these times.
About my BlizzCon jacket. I wanted to create one with an Alextrasza theme for our fans. I was connected with the magical Wanda at Renegade Effects Group. I gave our queen's images to her and she crafted the design and leather & velvety jacket!
