David Brevik, creator of Diablo, reveals the ‘worst ending’ to any game he’s played: ‘But I really love the game. It’s amazing’
PC Gamer’s Disk Cleanup feature interviews David Brevik, legendary creator of Diablo, examining his personal computing history and gaming collection. The regular feature explores the PCs of influential gaming figures, asking questions about desktop organization and games they refuse to uninstall.
Brevik’s gaming journey predates the IBM PC era, beginning on the Apple II where he played classics like Lode Runner and The Oregon Trail. He credits the dungeon-crawling RPG Wizardry as particularly influential in shaping his design philosophy. After studying computer science at college, Brevik worked at multiple software and gaming companies, establishing the foundation for his later career as a pivotal figure in game development and co-creation of one of gaming’s most iconic franchises.
