Last week, Hearthstone players were shocked to hear that Game Director Ben Brode was leaving Blizzard after nearly a decade working on the game and 15 years with the company altogether. Brode's announcement came via a lengthy post on the Hearthstone forum. Oddly enough, however, it appears that Executive Producer Hamilton Chu has also left both the Hearthstone team and Blizzard. Chu made his news known via a Twitter response to Ben Brode.
Weird! It was mine too...

What, if anything, this means for the future of Hearthstone's development will remain to be seen.
We'll be keeping eyes on this one for sure.
