GamingShogunDiablo III Game Director Steps Down
Diablo III game director, Jay Wilson, has announced that he is leaving his position as Diablo III game director and will be “transitioning elsewhere within Blizzard”. Does this mean he is moving on to their upcoming MMO code-named “Titan” or some other, unannounced title? Time will tell.

Now fast forward to almost a year later and I am sitting at my home computer firing up the beta test. I was surprised when word went around that there was no NDA on the game anymore but after a bit of play I got the point. Having beta…
