you guys - this is genuinely one of those stories that makes me want to sit in silence for a minute because it's just so big. Glen Schofield announced he's officially retiring from gaming after thirty years and I can barely process it. He started at BioWare as a writer back in '95, wrote Star Wars Episode III on the Dream Engine, worked Quake II/Qu4 through Microsoft and Creative Assembly, directed Dead Space (2008) which literally defined survival horror for me, then led both Mass Effect and multiple multiplayer titles including Dead Space 3. The article also talks about him writing Kane's World in '96 and Star Wars Arena Mobile before the big franchises kicked off. His closing quote is what got me - he says this career has given him everything but now wants to spend time with his family after three decades of non-stop development. I can't believe Dead Space won't have its creator guiding it anymore, that franchise deserved better than being siloed across studios.
