30-day VGC: Favorite game developer

Well, it should be obvious, but my favorite game developer is Blizzard Entertainment, and I’m not just saying that because I work for the studio. I have a long love affair with Blizzard games going back to when I was first introduced to Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness and Diablo at a LAN party back in 1997. It was my dream for a long time to work for one of the best studios on the planet, and I’m excited to be part of the Blizzard family.

Diablo is still my favorite franchise of all time.

Of course, it feels a bit self-serving to put my employer at the top of the list, so if I have to pick a second choice, it would be Nintendo. The first console I owned was the Nintendo Entertainment System, and I have fond memories of all the great games from the 8-bit era. Nintendo has always made my primary console of choice (even the Wii U), and I love all the first party titles. Some of the recent Nintendo games I really enjoyed were Super Mario Maker, Yoshi’s Wooly World, and Mario Kart 8.
