Untold Origins of Path of Exile — GGG Co-Founder Brian Weissman

Описание: Greetings everyone! This is part 2 of my casual conversation with Brian Weissman. He once again graced me with his time and his presence and went over PC gaming in his childhood, Diablo 2, meeting the other 3 co-founders Erik, Chris and Jonathan, behind the scenes tales at GGG and designing Path of Exile in the early days!

He's also working on his own game project and shared some details with me on it exclusively in this talk 🔥

I’m a game historian focused on documenting the development, lore, and stories behind ARPGs like Path of Exile, Path of Exile 2, and Last Epoch and MMOs such as World of Warcraft. I create longform, documentary-style videos that dive into game studios, mechanics, community moments, and indie dev journeys.
