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

Aww. We will miss you! If you are wanting to catch up on games, may I suggest Borderands 2? Though, that is another black whole life sucker of a game, lol. Image IPB

Damn, this has been very bittersweet today.

Thanks for all your hard work, Derek.

ME3 MP has been a wonderful ride and some of the most fun I've had gaming.

In all my gaming life I do not believe there has been a game that has clocked in so many hours. Thank you for helping to give us something great... But seriously you should be working on ME4.

Thanks to you and the team for so much fun that's MP (yep, throw me in there with not experiencing so many hours of fun from a game before).

Luck with it all.

Derek, it's been great interacting with you on here, and I'm sorry to see you go.  I wish you well in your semi-retirement, and thank you for your contributions to this classic gaming experience.  I've never spent as much time on any game as I have on this one, and that's a testament to all the hard work you guys have put in to making it outstanding.

You'll be missed. You made us proud. Well done Derek, and to all of the ME3 team. You guys all earned a beer from Gianna Parasini and a bearhug from Grunt.

Bioware's first multiplayer product, resulting in arguably their best overall game experience in years... You'll be missed, Derek - sad to see you go. What you leave behind you is a game changer for the company, and for western RPG. Be proud ^^
