What makes you say that? He doesn’t seem to come off that way in the interview.

Personally I always enjoyed his Overwatch Updates, and the Yule Log video he did. The down-slide for that game was definitely when he left and for good reason too. Leaving a company because you’re told “make x dollars or we lay off 1,000 people” is justified and what a sane person does.

Going indie I think was a good move, tho this is the first time I’d heard that’s what happened and have never heard of his game before.

There is an openness to Kaplan that fosters trust–a warmth that makes conversation feel natural.

Yeah I'm getting that vibe, too.
