My personal journey working on WoW as Game Director is at an end, but my journey with Blizzard isn’t. I’ll still be here, but will be focusing on another project within the company. However, it’s with great pleasure that I announce Ion Hazzikostas will be taking my place as Game Director for World of Warcraft.

Didn't he only take over at the end of WoD? Seems quick.

I imagine Game Director of WoW at this point has to be a grooming position for greater power.  "Take this prestige title that doesn't mean as much as it use to for a little while, proving you can handle shit without totally fucking up,  before moving on to take control of important stuff."

Basically Duke of Wales.

I'd be curious to know what blizzard is actually doing. Hearthstone, WOW, Overwatch and skeleton crews on SC2 and D3.

Well apparently they printed the numbers on a 4-sided dice oddly, so therefore they're making Diablo 4.

I dunno about the specific title, but Kalgan has been a lead decision maker for WoW since forever basically.

That's right he's the Gamify PVP guy.  I had him confused for some reason.
