Bill Roper has a fairly epic history. Through the '90s he was director at some company called Blizzard, and had a key role on the development of Diablo, StarCraft and yes - WarCraft.
After his golden years at one of the world's largest development companies, Roper branched off to form his own studio; the ill-fated developer of Hellgate: London, Flagship studios, which eventually went bust last year.

Cryptic Studios announced with a press release that more of its veteran developers have returned to the studio following tenures elsewhere.

The MMO studio says it’s “unifying legacy expertise with fresh perspectives”

Cryptic Studios appears to be the latest Embracer-owned company to be impacted by layoffs.
