[apg]

i read somewhere on the forums randomly; that he left the company, is this true? also i havent seen his avatar on the forums recently so seems to be legit.

why did he leave?
has someone replaced him?
where does he work now?

just being nosy

He hasn't posted anything on the public forums since almost one year ago, but his last activity was today at 10:50, so he seems to lurk at least. But yeah, he isn't working for PDS anymore and while there is no direct replacement, they seem to have replaced the "co-designer" role with project leads.

I think he left to work on his own comapny or something

March of the Eagles was a bit of a failure, I suspect that has something to do with it.

He's either starting his own studio, or gathering the clans to rise up against the British. One of the two.

Pretty sure he can do both at the same time!

He's very pro-British, IIRC.

Here in the US, employers expose themselves to legal liability if they discuss details of changes in employment status. I'd presume that the same applies in Europe. I wouldn't expect much of an official answer to this.

Source or even preferable a link to his company.

He resigned last spring to start his own gamedev company.

I suppose that's up to him to reveal when he feels it's time to. I'm definitely keeping an eye out for the release, both because I know Chris, and because I've heard some of the design.

Haha, what? No, we have nothing like that.
