It's been awhile since anyone heard from our old friend Bruce Everiss, who has a tepid history with this site at best. Wondering what happened to the illustrious critical analysis of the future of gaming he used to grace the world with, I decided to visit his blog in search of answers, bringing the total page hit count up to 7 for the month. I found out why we haven't heard from him in awhile:

Industry veteran marketeer joins smartphone app startup Kwalee

From opening one of the world’s first computer stores in 1978 to writing hundreds of articles for his popular Bruce on Games blog Bruce Everiss has spent most of his lifetime looking after the needs of consumers at the very sharp end of home entertainment technology, with many great success stories along the way.

Now Bruce has joined smartphone app startup Kwalee ( http://kwalee.com/ ) in Leamington Spa. With company founder and CEO David Darling he is helping to form the core strategic management team of the business. As Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) he will be responsible for all of Kwalee’s marketing functions and has already had considerable input into defining the brand and the strategic direction of the business.

RIP Kwalee

So this guy basically came on this site to promote his blog? Anyone know what happened to Ben kenobi? That is the actual story here.

He sacrificed himself to help Luke and the gang get away from the Death Star with Princess Leia.

I was wondering what this was doing in my activity feed, because I did not recognize it. What do you mean you get to debate this guy every day?

I am a member of an industry only network where he is also a member. Daily debates ensue. It's kinda funny to hear guys from Blizzard and otehr developers/publishers pretty much call him an idiot.

His current direction isn't just anti-Nintendo but anti-console/portable console.

Yeah... I remember when he'd post here.

it's not a good sign when an industry analyst gets into an arguement with random forum goers and the analyst is the one without any numbers or a comprable situation to back up his position.

Indeed. But what's funny now is he's getting hit by game designers, QA, software support analysts, research analysts, senior programmers, company owners, CEO's, network EIC's......

And I kid you not, that's all just from today.
