LucasArts President Darrell Rodriguez Resigns
If you’ve ever been president of a multi-million dollar company – preferably with the entertainment industry – maybe it’s time to start updating your resume. It looks like LucasArts might have some job openings, since Darrell Rodriguez, the company’s former president, resigned earlier today.
According to Kotaku the announcement was made earlier today at one of the companies board meetings. Rodriguez has held LucasArt’s reins since April of 2008, during which time the company released Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues, Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Republic Heroes, and Fracture. So a bit of a mixed bag.
Reportedly a few of Rodriguez’s executives left along with him, and Lucasfilm's Jerry Bowerman will be running things while the company looks for a permanent replacement. We’d throw our hat in the ring, but our three years of management experience at Quizno’s might not be as competitive as we’d like it to be.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
