I have mixed feelings about that. Matt was (emphasis on was) a huge Nintendo supporter but his presence on IGN for the last year or two has gone from misguided to irrelevant. I'm glad to see him leave IGN as I think he had become a lost soul, and I'm sure he's getting paid well at Apple - good for him - but I don't know if IGN is better or worse for the loss. Not sure I care anymore either.

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. |
Indeed. He's railed against Nintendo for two generations and now he's going to work for a company who's games amount to 'tilt and drive' racers and Card games. He's basically back-peddling on everything he's ever said, and most likely for money.
Not that I'm surprised, knowing his past work.

Meh; he was a Nintendo fan for a long time, but he's been one of the most virulently anti-Wii reviewers in the whole industry since sometime in 2008. Reviewing as an industry will be a better place with him gone.
Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

This is an adequate reflection of my feelings on the matter.

I guess when you lose all credibility in one area, its time to move one.

He went on from reviewing and writing about something that he didn't like to a big position in Apple? Well done.

In America, if you complain and whine enough, people not only listen but hire you to better positions.
