So I wrote a letter to Jeff Kaplan, and today in the mail I got a response back…

Warning: You’re in for a bit of a read

I’m putting my letter I sent to him first, I understand the length might turn you off but I recommend you read it if you want context with some of the stuff Kaplan responses to but it’s not vital. Also, I blocked out some personal stuff, along with my location.

And then here’s Mr. Jeff Kaplan’s response:

Bless Mr. Kaplan, we’re really lucky to have a dev like him who’s willing to hear his fans. And while we love to revere Mr. Kaplan as almost a demi-god, I feel like this letter made him very human and kind. WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY!!

Wow.

I will fucking defend Overwatch and Jeff Kaplan until the end of time. This is great. He–and many other devs–are human and make mistakes but they are also wonderful, thoughtful people who try their hardest and have great hearts and take the time to listen to their fans.
