Sadly, with the amount of lay-offs around the gaming industry, they'll have plenty of candidates to the job.

Ooo, ooo! Pick me! Pick me!
Oh wait... they want a high profile guy? Uh, is that a good idea? Most of the available high profile guys that are available are because their companies folded.
Why don't they go with somebody that actualy likes games and can see a stinker BEFORE it gets a year and millions into development?
Somebody like me! :-)
