THE FUSE

Jeff Kaplan, the former director of Overwatch, took part in a lengthy interview with Lex Fridman talking about his career, leaving Blizzard in 2021, and his upcoming western survival sim The Legend of California. The five-hour-long interview is a pretty rough watch, as Kaplan talks pretty candidly about the ridiculous pressure he was put under by Activision Blizzard higher-ups while trying to develop the hero shooter. At the end, Fridman asks about what Kaplan thinks the future of video games looks like, especially as it pertains to AI usage.
