Blizzard has a new loss: the head of the Warcraft franchise, John Hight, has left the company
Over the past few years, Blizzard has left most of the studio's veterans who worked on legendary games - Warcraft, Diablo, StarCraft, Overwatch and others.
Today it became known that another valuable employee has decided to quit the famous studio.
Here's What We Know
General Manager of the Warcraft franchise John Hight announced that he is no longer working at Blizzard.
Hight did not explain the reason for his decision, but noted that he is extremely happy with the current state of WoW, thanked his colleagues for 12 amazing years of co-operation and said that it was "time for him to move on".
After 12 incredible years at Blizzard, I've decided to step away & start a new quest.

It was a tough decision, but I feel like now is as good a time as any: Warcraft is in an amazing position as the universe turns 30.
I've been so honoured to serve all of the heroes of Azeroth.
Who will replace John Hight as head of the Warcraft franchise is still unknown, as well as whether the developer will continue his career in the gaming industry.
