Daybreak Games CEO John Smedley is retiring from the top job at the studio he helped establish.
SoE was hit hard by Lizard Squad’s DDoS activities, but Smedley was also personally affected by Lizard Squad’s activities when his plane was grounded by a bomb threat. He was also allegedly the target of various other forms of harassment, some of them quite serious. Smedley threatened to personally sue, saying he was “coming for” Kivimaki. Lizard Squad responded with more attacks on Daybreak titles.

Of course, the two things might not be connected at all, but the timing is very odd.
