aka sword day!
The team did a whole surprise reveal for me today. I had no clue 😂🥹
I love the Diablo team. Best people. ❤️
And now a new weapon joins Solarion in my office! 🗡️👏🏻
I’ve typed this tweet maybe 10+ times this year because I haven’t figured out a proper way of saying it...
I’m gay.
I’ve been scared to say it forever, but damn does it feel good to say now!
Close friends and some co-workers know, but the general public doesn’t.
So here I am. I’m sure people will be against it, but it feels good to just say it.
I am gay. And now I’m damn happy.
Sorry if you’re against it.
Thanks for those that are supportive. ❤️
And for those who may be in the same situation...
Things really do get better. 👍🏻
We have been hearing feedback from players regarding some of the changes in 1.1.0 for
#DiabloIV
.
We are going to have a Campfire Chat later this week on Friday to talk more about it.
We will have more details/timing in the next day. Thanks again for the feedback!
This Community Manager scene from Mythic Quest is everything.
Highly recommend checking the show out. It’s on Apple TV+ and it’s hilarious and so relatable. 😂
I once worked for Blizzard. I left. And then came back.
I once worked for Xbox/Microsoft. I left. And then came back.
I’m a rare breed. I’m a double boomerang. 😅
I’m thrilled I came back to Blizzard and now I’m thrilled I am coming back to Xbox/Microsoft. 😁💙💚

Digital Deluxe and Ultimate Editions of the game receive one Premium Battle Pass unlock. You will be able to activate it via the Battle Pass menu after you start a seasonal character.
Can be claimed for S1 or a future season.
As a person who worked for Microsoft on Team Xbox/Gears, I’m pretty stoked for the news today. I loved my time at Microsoft. Phil and Satya are great. I can’t think of a better team to work under.
I’m okay with a second go-around :)
Today is a historic moment. We are excited to announce that the world-renowned franchises and talented people at

If you’re looking for a good resource on

or
@icyveins
. The teams behind these sites put in an immense amount of effort to create these and they are super helpful for anyone. 👍🏻
Finally had time to finish up the
#DiabloIV
campaign tonight/this morning as I've been so busy.
I already knew everything but gotta reiterate that the narrative team knocked it out the park.
And our cinematics team is just the best.

As for work... I’ve been employed at some very great companies but Blizzard is another level.
Blizzard and the culture of the company is super open and welcoming that I feel I can actually be me. It’s great and I’m thankful for it. Blizzard and the people there are amazing.
Over 1 million people got to 20 or higher in the Early Access Beta in

Why am I saying this publicly now? It’s tough to say. I’ve had a ton of fear from friends and work to not say anything. Fear that friends would shun me. Fear that it would hold me back career wise as bad apples always exist on a tree.
The team is prepping a hotfix for
#DiabloIV
this week that will address some feedback regarding difficulty around collecting Living Steel and Living Steel chests disappearing in Helltides.
This hotfix will also help out with those on progression blockers in the season journey.

And of course the fear of my family. Will I ever tell them? Time will tell.
Everyone has told me that they will understand but I know many don’t know them like I do. Right now, they are very conservative and I have a heavy fear of losing my family from my life.
#DiabloIV
is upon us!
We have opened up a campaign link for Content Creators to apply for a Diablo IV Ultimate Edition code on PC. You can use the link below and login via your Twitch/YT for a code. There are some minimum metrics required.
Thanks all for tuning into the
#DiabloIV
Campfire Chat earlier today. Glad we got an opportunity to talk more with everyone. We will do more of these Campfire Chats in the future for sure.
Hello! I wanted to clear up some details on the rarest Unique items in Diablo 4.
1. They can drop from level 85+ enemies
2. You get them anywhere you can get a regular Unique, and they always drop at 820 ipower
3. We currently have 6 of them in the game
4. They're realllly rare!
I have a close group of friends that have been incredibly supportive. These wonderful people have given me more confidence and support. I’ve been able to lean against them through this when family wasn’t an option.
Seen a few mention if Infernal Hordes was coming back or not for future seasons. Just wanted to remind everyone that this is indeed coming back and is a permanent feature within the game.
I still love them despite not seeing eye to eye and I can’t have that empty spot in my life without them.
What made me okay with this saying now? The two things I feared... work and friends made me feel okay.
We are looking into the Invalid License issue that some PlayStation users are reporting. We will update this forum thread once we have more information.

RIP plush campfire. Someone grabbed it from a restricted area at BlizzCon in the streamer area.
I hope they enjoy its "soft" lighting it provides. 🥲
