Man, just the past week I had been thinking about this happening, and it does. What happened to Rare? How could a company go so far downhill within the span of a few years? How can every household name within the company up and leave, just like that?
...Even though he didn't really do anything for the last few years, this is the end of an era for me. For me, this guy belongs up there with the Koji Kondos and the Nobuo Uematsus. His soundtracks, particularly for the DK series, are almost always better than what anybody would ever expect. Plus, who's gonna be the composer for DKC4 when Rare finally decides to make it for DS? (Hey, it's my fantasy, I can wish as I please.)
If anything is good out of this, I hope this guy finds someplace to work that suits him better than Rare has for the last few years. He's simply too good to not be picked up by anyone.
