Former Blizzard Developers Reveal New Strategy Game Spellcraft
Patrick Wyatt may not be a household name for many gamers, but his experience and achievements within the industry speak for themselves. Early in his career, Wyatt worked at Blizzard Entertainment, where he acted as the Vice President of Research and Development while also working as a senior programmer.
