What about second breakfast?
Brode called time on his 15-year tenure at Blizzard back in April of this year.
Having joined Blizzard as a QA tester in 2003, Brode moved to a producer role in 2005 and from there rose up to game director.
He’s best known as leading free-to-play collectable card game Hearthstone, which passed the 70 million download mark in May 2017.
