A Career Which Started From Playing Games
I recently has the opportunity to meet Bill Roper at a Singapore game conference. Bill who is now the CEO and co-founder of Flagship Studios was hugely responsible for the award winning and best selling Diablo franchise during his time at Blizzard Entertainment.
Having played Diablo, Starcraft and Warcraft in college, I was obviously thrilled to meet him and couldn’t help myself from acting like a giggling fangirl.
“Hi Bill, could I have my picture taken with you? I am such a big fan of Diablo and played it throught my college years.”
Bill was happy to oblige and was kind enough to sign a HellGate T-shirt and poster for me. Yipeee!
As I was walking away after having our picture taken, I overheard Bill saying to some of his colleagues, “She used to play Diablo in college”.
“Did she finish college?” one of them asked.
“Yeah, she did”.
They looked at me nodding their approval.
