To work for Apple.

"Anybody who has read my work through the years will know that I’ve long been a huge Nintendo fan, but if there is one company that could entice me away from covering Mario and Zelda it’s the one owned by Steve Jobs. Beginning early May, I will join Apple as global editorial games manager, App Store. In a nutshell, I will be leading the charge for games on the App Store, so whether you browse through iTunes, iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad, the games content you see will be handpicked and organized by me and my team. I couldn’t be happier."

I don't know what to say.

I haven't read anything he's written for years, but I know he contributes to the dialogue in a way I don't like.

Still, good to know he's happy.

The end of an era.

From IGN to Apple... Cannot decide if its a good thing or a bad thing.

It's ironic (at least from the sentiment in this thread.) that he's going to a job... that would almost needs a focus on casual games.

He's going to be more wii then wii... and less... Mario and Zelda.  I'm sure he'll get paid much better though, so there is that.

The Age of Terror shall finnaly start to colapse.

Watch, they will make Daemon the new Editor-In-Chief.

Unfortunately I only became aware of IGN over the past year or so.

So I never had the opportunity to feel anything more than contempt for them, personally.
