    Say what you will about Flagship, but Roper's always had a great game creating brain. Improbable is at the forefront of our future MMOs, so I'm glad to see they've got a good guy helping.

    Lucky enough to have had contact with him when I was looking to get into the gaming industry - his Blizz days - always responded and put me in the right direction. Great guy and wish him the best.

    Yes, and that would be a more accurate title. Well, I don't have high hopes for SpatialOS now. Roper pretty much burns everything he touches these days. Not sure what he really did for Disney Infinity but it sounds like Disney wised up when the canceled it.
