Polishing games is important, but one former World of Warcraft and League of Legends MMO veteran believes that developers can also go too far with it – something he argues Blizzard Entertainment and Riot Games have both become guilty of.
Greg Street previously served as lead systems designer on WoW and lead of the in-development Riot MMO before moving on to form his own studio, Fantastic Pixel Castle, which is making its own MMO codenamed 'Ghost.' Needless to say, he's had plenty of first-hand experience with two of the most notable studios in the industry, but in a new thread on Twitter, it seems that it's only since reading Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier's recent book about Blizzard (Play Nice) that Street has noted "how similar the journey was of Riot to Blizzard."
