Swift Leaves Valve, Joins Airtight Games

Airtight Games announces that Kim Swift has departed Valve Corporation and joined the Dark Void developer as a project lead, saying "She will build and lead a team in the development of games aimed at a more diverse audience." At Valve Swift was team lead on Portal and also contributed to both Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2. "I've learned so much and had some amazing experiences at Valve," she says. "But when I heard I had the opportunity to work on innovative titles with my friends over at Airtight, I couldn't pass it up."

It's surprising anyone would leave Valve, especially after being given such a huge opportunity. On the other hand, working on a couple of Left 4 Dead games would turn me off pretty quick. I can see a bit of the appeal from multiplayer, but they're nowhere near as fun and innovative as Valve's previous titles... L4D2 in particular seems like an obvious cash-in on Valve's part. Good luck to her.
