With the announcement of our final DLC installments, I figured now is as good a time as any to post this.
The past two years have been incredible for me as a fan of BioWare and as a contracted employee of the company. My final day here is the 28th of February, 2013. Alas, all good things…

My feelings are as expected. We have rolled out an incredibly fun multi-player and associated DLC over the past year. It is something I will carry with me with pride. I have had the honour and privilege to work with one of the most talented teams in the industry and have made a lot of friends here. This is a team that is very passionate about what they do and it shows.

Blood has been shed, sweat has beaded, and tears have filled the buckets. Someone has to clean that up. Coordinating the multi-player room here in Edmonton during development was a bit intimidating at first. We wanted it to be successful. No pressure. Then there was the Live Team to help coordinate weekend operations and assist with balance pushes. It has been a journey. A hard fought one.

I will be heading back into semi-retirement to catch up on the list of games I have been meaning to get to and re-connect with my family in proper fashion. I can’t say for certain what the future holds for me, but I will keep my eyes and ears open for opportunities to get back into the saddle, as it were.

Thanks to you, the fans, for making this a great experience. I wish you great gaming for years to come.

I should go.

Cheers

I spent many hours playing something I had no expectation of liking. That's pretty much the best kind of "good job" I can offer. High five!

Oh, shucks, now you're gonna make me all teary-eyed. See you Derek, you're a rad guy! I'll never forget all the Q&A spin-off threads you started.

Sorry to hear this, I'd have had you locked up in a dungeon working on ME forever if it were up to me, you've been absolutely brilliant. Hope your new life takes you to some brilliant places. Thanks for everything, best of luck for the future!
