TheLoneHunt: "And then people like me.... I'm just some fucking idiot"

Maybe, but you were someone who cared not just about the games you were creating but also the people you worked with, you don't see that very much nowadays

You were and always will be a legend Mr. Kaplan

caldepen372: He mentions Breath of the Wild being the best game ever. I would suggest WoW is the best ever. So much to do, so many ways to enjoy the game, the story, spanning so many years (before the inevitable dropoff).

datemasamune2904: I will admit, I'm surprised to hear Kaplan cuss a lot.

SaraNorthXCrime: Love this episode spot on

elddir3676: Let's not forget StarCraft/warcraft was just a re brand of 40k

clueless4085: Jeremy Clarkson said something very similar about the Lexus LFA. "It was so good that not even the people who made it could make it again."

Gamma1990: Never knew they used that engine at first

xmod2: They tried to recreate the magic of grabbing Tigole/Furor by tapping Gurgthock (Ion) and eventually a bunch of the EJB adjacent folks.

The idea to grab the biggest, most outspoken fans is a good one.

It's also funny because success at that time was the 'insane' numbers eq was pulling, like 500, 000 subs! WoW completely changed the game.

DevinTheWizard: Wow x quake would have been so amazing but I know most people wouldn't like that

MarkRobbz: I miss older developers; corporations have ruined games. This is why indie games are thriving at the moment because the developers behind these games love what they do and make the games for the players, not for their shareholders.
