      If you enjoy the topic, try to take the time to read "Stay Awhile and Listen" by David L. Craddock (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZQQRWS9?notRedirectToSD...).

      I was shocked to learn how little the dev team was financially rewarded (besides the owners).

      In the same vein as Masters of Doom, I enjoyed `Stay Awhile and Listen` for a peek into Blizzard.

      "Stay Awhile and Listen" is a great book covering the founding story of Blizzard North, creators of Diablo 1 & 2. While not as great as Masters of Doom, it reminded me quite a bit of it.

      Stay Awhile and Listen is also a very good one in this vein.

      Stay Awhile and Listen is an interesting one on the development of Diablo

      I can recommend Stay Awhile and Listen by David L. Craddock which tells the story of how the original Diablo was made. It's mostly told in interviews, so while it's not a single developer's story a lot of it is first hand.
