Jon Spector, vice president of Blizzard's watch vanguard, announced his resignation.
Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen OC_Formula for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, March 12, Jon Specter, business director and vice president of Watchman Vanguard, announced that he will leave Blizzard Entertainment at the end of March. It is not clear who will replace Specter, and Specter himself did not disclose his future.
Specter posted the news through his personal Twitter account, thanking the fourth team of Watch Vanguard, the Watch Vanguard community and "all the Blizzard employees who made their career so exciting". CTOnews.com noted that Specter did not specify why he chose to leave after six years at Blizzard, but said that "there are a lot of exciting things coming for Watchman in the next few years," and he is looking forward to experiencing these changes as a player.
Specter is a popular figure in the Watchman vanguard community, but his departure may not have much impact on game development. Blizzard may already have a replacement, and other key leaders such as Alan Aaron Keller and Jared Jared Neuss will remain in their current positions.
