This week we’ve coaxed Jay Wilson back to the Diablo Podcast / Vidcast where he once again joins HCXanth and Neinball.
In this episode, Jay discusses his new game studio Gas Giant Games which is working on a new ARPG. The crew also touch on Diablo 3 topics with Jay as well as Diablo 4. Jay shares some more insight into the Diablo development process and lets us know what he thinks of all the changes to Diablo 3 since he left Blizzard.
