so i just heard that the guy in charge of battle.net is leaving to work on the epic games store, which is kinda big news for gamers like me. martin keely is his name, and he's got a lot of experience making sure online gaming platforms run smoothly. i'm curious to see what he can do for epic, since their launcher can be a bit of a mess sometimes.
