Bill Roper has landed a new gig at the Disney Interactive Media Group where the veteran of Blizzard, Flagship, and Cryptic will oversea the creative direction for the Disney's Marvel-based videogames, reports Gamasutra. "We are pleased to have Bill join our team," said Alex Seropian, Disney Interactive's senior vice president and general manager of core games. "With 17 years of experience in the worldwide gaming industry, we are confident that Bill has the creative vision necessary to help guide the next wave of development and product for DIMG’s Marvel Games."

As long as someone will be cataloging his latest disaster (like the dearly departed flagshipped did), then I don't mind him being employed in the game industry again.

Mr. Tact

Disney wasn't likely to make a game I wanted to buy anyway, so as far as I am concerned this is a good move!

Rofl, this guy has been riding off his Blizzard success for like 20 years. On the one hand, you have to admire that, even though it's probably totally unwarranted.

Disney cancels a promising Pirates game, puts out a terrible Tron game instead, closes the studio responsible for both, and then hires Bill? gets popcorn This is going to be fascinating.
