In Response To: Seropi-gone *LINK* (poena.dare)

: Bungie co-founder Alex Seropian leaves Disney

: After one year of leading Disney Interactive's games business, Bungie and
: Wideload co-founder Alex Seropian has left the company altogether.

: Disney confirmed Seropian's resignation to Gamasutra, noting that former
: Blizzard exec Bill Roper is set to take his place.

: Seropian, who helped co-found Halo studio Bungie in 1991, first joined Disney
: Interactive in 2009 when the company acquired the Chicago-based Stubbs the
: Zombie developer Wideload Games.

: In January 2011, in the wake of a sizable round of layoffs at the company,
: Seropian became Disney's SVP and general manager of core games, where he
: was tasked with getting the company's struggling games business on track.

: Since he assumed the new role, Disney has trended away from traditional
: console development, and has focused more on its offerings in the social
: market.

: Bill Roper, on the other hand, joined Disney in July, and previously held key
: positions at Blizzard North, Hellgate: London developer Flasgship Studios,
: and Champions Online developer Cryptic Studios.

: Today, Disney's Interactive Media division also reported decreased revenues
: and widening loses for its first fiscal quarter, due in part to the
: company's sparse console game lineup.

It's a tough world at that level. VP for a year, losses continue, out the door.

There is no doubt he'll land on his feet and probably start up another gaming company. After all he's done it twice before.

Cheers
Hamish
