Is Blizzard quietly killing Heroes of the Storm?

In a Heroes of the Storm Reddit AMA in May, Production Director Kaeo Milker made the current state of the game's development sound tough: "Part of our journey right now is figuring out the balance between what the team wants to do, and what the team can do." With Blizzard announcing that it would shift developers away from the game, it apparently left the team starved of resources for the things they wanted to make.

The Queue: Grimalkin

The header image for this Queue is my rabbit Grimalkin. She was a very good rabbit. She died a few years ago — she got sick and ultimately the vet didn’t think she could be saved. But before that, for about seven years, she was my rabbit and I loved her very much. She was a part of our family, and she would often come over and lick my eyes — I half suspect she knew there was something wrong with them before anyone else did and was trying to help.

I miss her every day. She was small, and gray, and brave. She would charge the cats and grind her teeth, and one time, she did a backflip in order to drop kick one of the cats who was trying to get into her enclosure. I can’t really tell you just how much her loss changed me, how much I miss her binkies and her loafing next to me while I played Mass Effect or Dragon Age. She made my life better and I know there’s a hole in me now where I will never see her again. Lodur once drew me a picture of a rabbit wearing Warrior Tier 2, and I know that was Grimalkin in her heart of hearts, the Warrior Bunny.

Five years, little girl. We haven’t forgotten you. We never will. I hope to see you again, doing binkies wherever good little rabbits go. Every time my eyes act up I remember.

This is the Queue. Let’s talk about stuff.
