Gregg Mayles was highly liked inside of Rare too, the dude was a little camera shy IIRC which is why we hardly saw him on stage or anything, but Gregg Mayles leaving is probably going to be a serious blow to morale at Rare and may cause even more people to leave, Microsoft is fucking clueless at how important it is to nurture talent.
Gregg Mayles leaving is like Josh Sawyer leaving Obsidian.
Rare's just lost a bit of its soul now.
I can't believe they'd treat this man with so much disrespect after he gave them Sea of Thieves which has tens of millions of players, was a massive success, one of Microsoft's most successful new IPs ever and even today, ensures that Rare Ltd runs at a profit. Microsoft can't even hide that Rare is profitable because UK businesses are required by law to report on it!
