A key executive at Blizzard Entertainment has personally endorsed Gabe Newell's claim that Windows 8 "is a catastrophe for everyone in the PC space".
Rob Pardo, the executive vice president of game design at the Diablo 3 (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/pc/games/7829/diablo-3/) studio, quoted Newell's comments on his personal twitter account before adding that Windows 8 is "not awesome for Blizzard either".
Discussion on the value of Windows 8 (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/pc/games/11860/windows-8/) has hitherto been relatively quiet among games designers. Yet Newell, the co-founder of Valve Software, sparked debate on the subject by describing Windows 8 as "a catastrophe (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/359898/newell-windows-8-is-a-catastrophe-for-everyone-in-the-pc-space/)".
