Brad answered me on Twitter multiple times and gave insightful feedback into the development and core values of Pantheon. It was so apparent that he was more than a developer. He was a dreamer. Visionary Realms was aptly named. Brad McQuaid was not someone who toiled away on a team, doing something he didn't care about for a paycheck. He had a vision. He wanted to create something memorable and special. And I've seen more than enough interviews/dev streams from him to know that he didn't have any ego about it at all. He just loved what he did.

I would vote underrated if it were an option. Brad McQuaid was a rare type of person. A childlike sense of wonderment, a big dreamer without concern of skepticism, and the ambition and work ethic to get it done. All while being kind. RIP to an absolute legend, more than deserving of any hype, accolades, and adoration that is sent his way.

He’s a genius. He’s managed to keep creep autists out of society by making a super addicting game. He’s a hero.

This is truth. We all need to face up to this. The good of things is not always flattering to us. Voltaire said "if God didn't exist we would need to invent him." Napoleon, a much more practical and less cryptic person, said "Religion keeps the common people quiet."


Kohedron: "EQ was an ground-breaking autist sink."



So God bless the Pope and God Bless Brad McQuaid.

It is weird that he was portrayed by Channing Tatum in 21 Jump Street though
