Why did Jeff Kaplan leave Activision Blizzard?
As Blizzard continues to face a series of controversies that have come to light with the onset of their lawsuit with the state of California, it has been revealed that ex-Overwatch director protected his team from "corporate BS" while with the company and tried to rectify cultural issues with his departure.
Absolute legend!
Jeff mained off tank and there were only 5 spots on the development team

Don't know if you made this up or copied it from somewhere else, but this is a damn good comment
Jeff left and is bringing all the off tanks with him
Imagine if Jeff left because he didn’t want to make OW2 5vs 5

We Now have only one tank :(
I'm fairly certain thay no one is more hurt from Jeff's departure than Dinoflask
I cried when I heard he left,
I never cried for a guy leaving a company ever
Why tf are you crying over a guy leaving a company? lmao
@@yibro3360 because Jeff made the game fun
@@OnTopRN Still no reason to cry over a dude leaving a company, feeling sad about it and crying over it are two different things
@@yibro3360 that’s subjective you can’t definitively say what is and is not a reason to cry.
@@yibro3360 that's just you then....sorry not everyone is like Yibro....the dude has a passion for this game let him rock and keep ya negativity to yourself....cant tell people how to feel over a video game...Jeff made the game great now he's gone...thats ass...
"Hello this is Jeff from Overwatch team."
-Jeffrey Russell Wilson Kaplan III
I shed a tear seeing this. To the goat. May our SR meet again
5:15 " A new fps game that fans now know as Overwatch"
Me: "Wait for it"
*Overwatch music starts playing*
Me: "There it is"
Such a great tune.
No matter what, the impact that he had on the community will be here forever, he was such a positive and kind person, I really wish nothing but the best for him, THANKS for the memories Jeff, much love
1:25 Jeff Kaplan went off Jesus
Lmfaoooooo thank you fpr making me stop to read that shit. I completely dismissed it the first time I saw it
He popped off
Also right after he left, I was googling what is his next project he is going to work and which company will hire him, but didnt find anything. Thank u jeff, and gl, i hope to hear about new games u create soon
He retired
@@ixchel3330 no way a man like jeff kaplan (only 48 years old) just retires like that, he's probably joining the OG Blizzard crew at Dreamhaven when he can
What was your fondest memory of Jeff Kaplan and how do you feel about the future of Overwatch?
roasting widow maker. I quote: Whats the punishment for playing Widowmaker? Well it just says DEFEAT at the end. Its not like that anymore, but well... i miss papa jeff.
Moira is spelled OP AF
5 vs 5 is whack
@dinoflask 's videos
Daddy jeff, nuff said.
Reeeeeeaally thought this video was going to end with, "...and we'll all always remember him as Tigole Bitties."
I'm surprised no one's mentioned "wrestle with Jeff, prepare for death". We're gonna miss ya Papa Jeff
just nine minutes of my crying over the loss of Papa Jeff
Everytime Blizzcon happen, I'm so looking forward to seeing him.
Now he left OW, and Blizzcon will never be the same again.
Papa Jeff, you will always be missed!
I'm very curious to see on which project Jeff will work next.
I love these even though I don’t play some of the games you talk about
Same
Yeah Akshon is overall expanding its content outside overwatch too now but the quality is actually too good
You should play OverWatch man its a great game if played with the right people trust me for years I just watched my gf played and never played....its one of the greatest games of all time to me...I just started playing it a few days ago actually...people suck but the theory and diversity in this game and style of play u can find in other games but only in OW you feel like you are playing OW...
We will miss you Daddy Jeff!
Damn, first time saw Jeff got tilted and wrote a rant post. Can't imagine if he ever wrote an unpublished rant post about the Overwatch community.
reading his angry rant at the mmo devs before he worked at blizzard in jeff's voice is funny
You have no idea how fast I clicked
omg i’m actually crying r.I.p papa Jeff
Goodbye Papa Jeff!
Wow I really didn’t expect this video to make me tear up, Jeff really made this game special for me and so many others
Turn on my pc, open battle.net, click the new developer update and hear those kind words...
Good morning everyone! This is Jeff from the overwatch team
Man I'll miss him
Glad to see PROfiles is back hope you can do some more
Thank you papa Jeff for everything. You will always remain special to me and everyone.
His name do be Jeff tho
I enjoyed every moment in overwatch after it launch. Thank you papa jeff i concern which direction this universe going without you.
Goodbye papa jeff and we’ll miss you 😢
Great video thank you for showing Jeff some love! I never played WoW but I've been playing Overwatch since 2016 and seeing all his Developer Updates and jokes was always fun. Gonna miss him for sure, hope the game is in good hands..
in the state how Actizzard is today and how its moving more and more to the edge.. i would leave too. Kaplan was just iconic and i miss his " HELLO IM JEFF FROM ZE OVAWATCH TEAM" hopefully he joins Morhains new company and they can maybe recreate the "old" blizzard.
jeff is just ahead of the curve. tank players will be joining him soon
nooooooo.... we'll always remember him ass Papa Jeff
Makes you wonder if he saw 5v5 and said, "yep this isn't the overwatch I know" and ditched. Could be the massive setbacks too for a game that probably would be released by now or at least be in beta.
Jeff really got out at the right time… shit got crazy.
Thank You for making this, you really did put a perspective for us
Glad you enjoyed it!
Jeff fromtheoverwatchteam will be missed
Thank you Jeff
I was an honour to play your game Jeff
:( I miss him so much
Gone but not forgotten
Jeff was the real hero all along
One of the inspiring, hard focussed and "anoying"(for his team mates) guys in the positive part of the quick changing industry of software developement and hopefully, we will see him again in a new FPS PVP game - live ur dream and pls come back, papa jeff! Thx for power in the years of OW, the game i´m playing for so many hours, since u took over, after the period of WOW, Diablo and other games.
Amazing video! Learning about the history behind competitive games; the storylines, the blood, sweat and tears that go into making your game of choice recognized by the masses... that's what I'm fkin here for! Just like me with the MegaMan Battle Network and Smash Bros Ult. series :3!!
Thanks!
I already know this video is gonna blow up
We hope so too!
Damn that's some connection from a game to make it this far
We need Pro:Files of Jinmu, Ameng, Space, Birdring, Leejaegon, Viol2t, Ans, Surefour and Ttuba.
Edit: Jjangu, Piggy and Nisha as well
Thank you, Papa Jeff.
Jeff is my favorite developer. I can’t wait for him to join Dreamhaven, I have no doubt that he won’t, and see what he’ll do next. I know it will be great!
Papa Jeff will never be forgotten for as long as Overwatch is remembered
From Member, to Leader
I hope Papa Jeff knows how thankful we are for him and what he did. Thank you Jeff. ❤
1:24
Old Soldiers Never Die They Fade Away
deserved video for the goat
This man shook the hero shooter genre
He will be missed :(
LONG LIVE THE KING
Papa Jeff we love and miss you ♥ I hope you're doing something fun with your free time!
It was Overwatch League . . . they had this lucio sountrack song playing and the synth voice sounds off: jeff jeff jeff jeff . . . . and the whole chat blew up Papa Jeff . . . Jeff Jeff and every time OWL would go on, chat would explode with Jeff Jeff Jeff!!
God, I missed playing OW in the good ol days now that I know papa jeff isn’t there anymore to help in the OW team, its kinda sad...
he was like a father to me
Great Video
Papa Jeff! We'll miss you.
Green hills of stranglethorn was not removed from the game. It is in classic and was in vanilla and is a very notorious quest to this day lol. Its just amazing that jeff kaplan made a quest with such good intentions but the community ended up hating it.
I AM A OFF TANK MAIN and this hit hard!!!!
Despite the games ups and down I still love how Jeff is
One day there will be mods for Overwatch 4 and somone will add him in the game. Hero 77: Jeff Kaplan
thank you papa jeff for everything
LMAO 1:25 Jeff was a real gamer
I really wanted to see the Jeff Kaplan PROfiles intro
Jeff Kaplan's rants from Everquest Guild days are so legendary, insane how he finangled that into a career in the video game industry. Will miss Papa Jeff, aka "Tigole Bitties" hahaha.
