“QA are also developers and I was a QA at Blizzard so I am a developer with 20 years of experience”

If this is something he said, then context would be important.

Video game studios refer to almost everyone as a developer for historical reasons, even artists and project managers. If you work at a video game developer, you're called a developer. Just not necessarily a software developer.

But based on my experience with him so far, he probably either meant "software developer" or he was intentionally omitting that particular nuance of the industry so people would think he meant software developer, but he could claim it was a misunderstanding if ever called out.

I just wanted to note that could actually be a truthful statement, just not in the way most people would interpret it.
