Over the weekend, former Blizzard VP and Overwatch game director Jeff Kaplan decided to show off his new game, The Legend of California, via a 10-hour livestream on Twitch. During the lengthy stream–which Kaplan admits was his first–he demonstrated various aspects of his upcoming game and shared some opinions on the gaming industry at large.
Specifically, he had some choice words for people who complain about video games without ever playing them.
“I understand being upset, and I understand voicing your opinion,” Kaplan said. “But if a game comes out and you don’t want to play it, and you never played it–shut the f*** up!
“What is with this, ‘Oh my god, I’m so upset they decided to make this game that I have no interest in’ [mindset]?” Kaplan asked. “Who cares about my opinion if I’m not gonna play it? And if I’ve never played it, why does my opinion matter on that? I’ll tell you what it does, as a game developer who’s been in charge of teams, who has the ability to do something about it: I just f***ing ignore you. That’s all you’ve accomplished. You’re so off the deep end, it’s not even worth listening to you at that
