Dustin Bower styr upp dev teamet!

taget från Team Liquid

[Dustin Browder enters the room, beard unkempt and eyes bloodshot. He hasn't slept in days.]
Browder: So what's happening, team?
[The development team looks up, mildly surprised. But only for a moment. They quickly turn their attention back to the mountain of work yet to be surmounted.]
Dev A: Good news. Chat channels can be implemented, but there's a catch. We have to remove facebook integration.
Browder's face lights up, and a stupid grin slowly spreads across his face.
Browder: That's great news!...
Suddenly, a terrible change strikes his features. His brow furrows and darkens, his eyes are hard and grim. Far away, in the dark and fiery land of Activision, the Dark Archon CEOs breathe a sigh of relief.
Browder: Remove facebook integration?!? Are you insane?? How could we remove the only thing that connects gamers on a personal level? It's what keeps B.Net 2.0 afloat; it's what every gamer desires, what every gamer needs! Death to chat channels!
Dev A: Ok, whatever...
Dev B: It's also possible to implement a free LAN system...
Browder: Was that the "f-word" I heard?!? Do you know what happens to those who mention the "f-word?"
Browder pulls out a warp blade and smites the foolishly expedient developer.
Browder: Let it be known that nothing in life is free! Success always comes with a cost, and, in this case, it's the pocketbooks of our loyal fans. Just look at how our WoW division is booming! You should aspire to be just like them, the pinnacle of video game success.
[The developers shuffle uncomfortably as Browder turns to the balance team.]
Browder: What's going on at your end?
Dev C: We found out that we could improve the balance of Terran mech if we removed the smart AI from siege tanks.
Browder: And dumb down the game?? What do you think this is? Brood War? No! Keep the AI how it is, and increase the splash radius while you're at it. Maybe if we reduce the hit points a bit, we can pull it off to the community as a nerf.
Dev D: In play testing, we found that templar tech is more viable without the unnecessary dark shrine/templar archives split.
Browder: No one cares about Protoss players. They had it far too easy in Brood War!
Dev E: We made this super cool Zerg unit that brings diversity and flexibility to the Zerg army!
Browder: I don't want to hear about it. Save it for Heart of the Swarm.
Browder: Remember, phase two is scheduled to start in one week. We want no mistakes, no errors. Achievements, decals, portraits, facebook friends: those are our top priorities. And find a way to implement an online market. Back to work, men!
[As Browder flies off on bat-like wings into the darkness, little does he know that the development team withheld one little secret. A small ring forged from the fires of Activision that would soon free Browder from the evil clutches of the Dark Archons. ...or would it?]
