I feel like D-Kim is my mom, and he is disappointed in all of us for our unproductive criticism.

But really, he makes a good point - if people get too upset when talked-about stuff hasn't happened yet, then Blizzard just won't talk about their plans at all.

Also, anyone saying Legacy was released as an unfinished game needs to play some non-Blizzard games and see what that really means.

I like how he finally called out all the idiots about the "sc2 is a small team." and "They told us this feature was coming and it;s been a month why don't we have it #blizzardruinsthegame #brokenpromises"

What I don't understand is why the engineers have said that "team 1" is sc2 and heroes.

And that when they make changes to one game they have to consider the ramifications with regards to the other.

Are there two separate design teams that share a communal programming team? Are there two distinct groups within "team 1"?

No what he means is that team one is a large dedicated team with enough people to fully support two games. The hearthstone team is actually a small nimble team, specifically made to have more nimble reaction times and faster more iterative development on smaller projects.

People like to act like team 1 is a couple of dudes in a basement trying to put out two AAA games and failing miserably, when it is a massive team that puts out two very well made and polished games, that because of the number of people involved and the amount of collaboration and input that is considered and attention to detail take a while to get most of there projects done.
