Bloomberg reports that Glen Schofield is departing KRAFTON subsidiary
Striking Distance Studios following the
disappointing commercial
performance of
Callisto Protocol, the spiritual successor to
Dead
Space, which he co-created. Schofield was CEO, and word is he and the
company's CCO and CFO are all leaving voluntarily, so they were probably fired.
Here's a bit:
Chief Executive Officer Glen Schofield is leaving, a Krafton
representative confirmed Wednesday, saying he has “decided to pursue new
opportunities.” Striking Distance’s chief operating officer and chief financial
officer are also leaving. Krafton said all three departures were voluntary.
Chief Development Officer Steve Papoutsis will take over as CEO. In a statement,
Schofield said his departure was “bittersweet, but I know the studio is in
excellent hands.”
