Why does it always bother me that GC says "I" instead of "we" when he talks about stuff like this.

"...but I hated old Shield Block" isn't such a great thing to hear from a guy that's supposed to be working with a group of people.. It just makes him come off even more like what he says he'd like to avoid: The guy every one looks to for every thing.

I read that as him giving his own personal opinion and not wanting to throw words in his team mates / blizzard as a whole's mouth honestly.

Because it covers his position (or arse) in case Blizzard's design team decides otherwise - for whatever reason (it could be an engineering decision or something not to change it for example).

In most big software projects it really is design by committee - very few people have the ultimate say on anything.

He probably uses first-person because if people aren't accusing him of arrogance, they're accusing him of ignorance. Give the guy a break.
