Producers are a dime a dozen. Most only steal or rehash ideas of the past. Him leaving at the same time as the major changes being announced probly means he threw a hissy fit and wouldn't contribute to the new vision.
@hyamzy This is normal for entertainment studios, its nothing personal.

Its these social phone games and micro-transaction distractions that will be dying an early death, and make all of these industry dinosaurs look like the stupid cunts they are.
These same dumbasses were saying single player games are on their way out. Oh hello Skyrim and Angry Birds.
