Developer Blogs

Shortly before launch, Craig Zinkievich started posting "State of the Game" blogs. Later, Dan Stahl made several State of the Game blog posts before switching entirely to releasing information via the Engineering reports.

Since the Engineering reports were discontinued, and State of the Game posts have become intermittent, the primary source of information has been in the form of Developer Blogs, organized by Season.
