After 11+ incredible years I’ve decided to leave Meta in March. This was a difficult decision and I have nothing but deep appreciation for Mark and @boztank’s leadership, gratitude to the company, love for my coworkers, and excitement for our Horizon and VR roadmap.
I’m incredibly proud of multiple eras of my work at Meta. I helped to build the Oculus Content team, Meta’s first content production and dev rel organization, and producing a lot of highly reviewed and industry applauded titles. I’m also proud of building the Metaverse Creative Team, empowering Design and Art, and raising our quality bar.
Why now? And the answer is relatively boring: This seems like a good time. I am going to chase animals with a camera. You can follow the results on my Instagram https://t.co/rTLZ15Wet5
@TimSweeneyEpic@boztank Thank you @TimSweeneyEpic for the kind words, as well as for leaning in on VR. Nobody should overlook Epic's contributions. Robo Recall is still one of my favorite VR games and solved a lot of spatial problems taken for granted today. @boztank
@Zorklis@balerion138@bogorad222@asgavin's numbers are roughly correct of course. Jak 3 was rushed, but we also had the systems and basics down. Jak 2 had a lot of new tech. Jak 3 not as much. We even re-used some of the City.
@David_Jagneaux No way! I only have 6 copies. 45k total print if I remember correctly. Sold out 3 weeks. EA didn't reprint because they decided to use the allocation on some new football game called Madden.
@RealDannyB Worse than that. Universal Interactive told Naughty Dog, and independent company, that it was "not allowed" to go to E3. Needless to say that went nowhere.
@RealDannyB This is not what happened. Universal Interactive took it on themselves to make an animated intro. We have no idea who they contracted, but the image speaks for itself. Naughty Dog took one look and simply rejected it.
