LucasArts President Resigns

LucasArts President Resigns Abruptly (registration required) has news that Simon Jeffery, president of LucasArts, has "abruptly resigned." The brief story offers no reason for this move, nor is there any information on who his successor will be. Thanks Adventure Gamers. Update: GameSpot is reporting that "Mike Nelson, LucasArts' vice president of finance and administration, will serve as acting general manager until a replacement is found." Thanks Frans.

Well, he could be leaving because LucasArts has turned into a sad shell of it's former self, whoring it's Star Wars license out for a series of fairly mediocre games, with a few notable exceptions. Or the fact that instead of innovating, it's trying to milk every ounce out of the much loved titles it published under the guidance of true gaming visionaries.

No big loss, I say.
