With the announcement that Epic games president Mike Capps is stepping down that marks the 3rd huge shake up in Epic.

Whats going on?  And more importantly is this going to severely effect epic losing its top talent?  

Maybe they're all going to go to Black Tusk Studios, just like when people left Bungie to go to 343i

A dance central fan, I see. Busted!

meh.. who stays more then 10 years at the same job in this age? CliffyB spend 20 years at epic! it this time and age we are more job hoppers then our parents..

I get that but its all happening at once.  Huge influential developers in Epic.  It just seems too many at once to be a coincidence

Don't see them as having a problem really, he's leaving because of a new kid, and he's still on the Epic board.

And let's be realistic, his Studio President job is replaceable even though he was active as a PR guy.

Rod leaving was the biggest loss of talent imo, and even he is ultimately replaceable.

No!!!!!!!!!!! sniff sniff whose going to take care of Gears? screw people can fly. I loved Gears since the first game im a die hard Gears fan, and im not going to buy gearsj it looks stupid kinda went of topic.

Mike is becoming a stay at home dad so he isn't going to a new ms studio. Wouldn't be surprised if Cliff starts one tho.

All in all this actually might be BECAUSE a buy out is coming up. 

Not really Halo switched hands gears or any other ip can too.

well most of the big figures of the company has left. Maybe it will become their style :D
