David Kim var lead gameplay designer på Starcraft II, og nå kan han fortelle at han forlater spillet for å begynne på noe nytt. Starcraft II skal imidlertid leve videre, lover han:
"Design and balance on StarCraft II has been a combined effort among everyone on the design team and our community for quite a while now. We believe that the ongoing communication and collaboration between the design team, pro players, and community will keep SC2 the best it's ever been as a competitive game.
I've reached a point in my career where I've decided to branch out to a different project, to explore, learn, and grow as a game designer. This other project will be right here at Blizzard, so I hope working on this next game will be as awesome as my experience working on SC2 and with the community. The rest of the SC2 balance team will continue to make updates, and communication with the community will not be interrupted."
PCGamesN bemerker at dette er det tredje store navnet hos Blizzard som skal gjøre noe annet. På kort tid har Tom Chilton forlatt WoW, mens Dustin Browder hoppet av Heroes of the Storm.
Det kan naturligvis være et pussig sammentreff, eller så er det noe nytt og stort på gang hos Blizzard.
