10 Video Games That Made Their Creators Leave The Industry
8. Diablo III
The release of Diablo III was mired in enormous controversy due to both its always-online DRM and the inclusion of a gameplay-derailing auction house in which players could spend real money on in-game items.
It didn't help matters at all that the game's director, Jay Wilson, responded to criticisms from Diablo's own creator himself, David Brevik, by declaring, "F**k that loser." Amid huge fan outcry, he later apologised.
But Wilson's relationship with the fanbase was permanently tarnished, and a few years after the game's release in 2016, he decided to quit both Blizzard and the gaming industry as a whole, to focus instead on a career in writing.
And you can probably guess how fans responded in unison to news of his departure from the business.
