Warren
Spector exits Eidos on GameSpot (thanks Frans) has word that the famed
designer has parted ways with ION/Eidos. They quote a spokesperson as saying:
"Eidos announces that Warren Spector has relinquished his role as Studio
Director at Ion Storm. Warren has chosen to pursue personal interests outside
the company, but he will continue to work for Eidos as an IP consultant. His
insight and expertise is highly valued by Eidos, and the company looks forward
to continuing its relationship with Warren in his new role." The story goes on
to speculate that Warren's consulting with Eidos may be on the next Tomb Raider
game and repeat rumors of a possible move to Midway. In another developer
departure,
Fred Nilsson's .plan File announces the animator is leaving id Software to
return to the movie industry.
Eh, glad to see him go. I recall he was the one that wanted to console-ize DX:IW and Thief 3, and that Harvey said after being fired that he was against this. It may have maximized ION/Eidos' profits, but it pissed off a lot of the PC gaming community. I played through DX:IW but I thought it sucked. Waste of $.
