BioWare - Zeschuk still on board

[Dhruin]

We should catch up on the rumours about the Biodocs which, not surprisingly, turned out to be premature. From Eurogamer:

UPDATE: Greg Zeschuk's role as General Manager at BioWare Austin was "always planned to have a finite endpoint", the company co-founder has explained to Gamasutra, addressing speculation around his departure.
"With regard to BioWare Austin, I handed off the leadership of the studio to Matthew Bromberg quite some time ago (back in May). Ray [Muzyka, BioWare co-founder] and I picked Matthew to take over and he's been doing a great job with the studio."
Zeschuk also affirmed his continued presence within BioWare as a whole.
ORIGINAL STORY: "My time in Austin was always planned to have a finite endpoint (my family was still living in Edmonton throughout my time in Austin) and now that I've handed the baton to Matt I will be able to spend more time on a wider range of BioWare games rather than focusing on just one as I did with SWTOR."

Clever. So he disconnects his name from SWTOR before it finally sinks end of the year.

Just as I predicted.

Meh it changes nothing. He still is middle management on the EA ladder. Also know as replaceable to the company.

The identity of Zeschuk's successor was decided on at the same time: the Star Wars: The Old Repbulic studio will now be headed up by Matt Bromberg, previously CEO of Major League Gaming.
