Former Overwatch Lead claims he was given a horrid ultimatum: meet revenue goals or 1,000 developers would lose jobs
Former Overwatch lead Jeff Kaplan revealed that he was given an ultimatum by former Blizzard CFO Dennis Durkin: meet specific revenue goals for Overwatch or 1,000 developers would lose their jobs. Kaplan stated this pressure, partly due to the financial strains of the Overwatch League, significantly impacted his career at Blizzard. He is now working on a new survival game called The Legend of California with an independent studio.
