Well, I have to say that I am shocked to see (hear about (read about)) your departure, Mr. Hudson. I had some things to say to you, stuffs I wanted to get off of my chest. However, after reading through this thread - I feel it just would not be right.
Bioware and Mass Effect have given me a lot of enjoyment. I loved the worlds you helped create - the art, planets, stories, characters .... dreams. Its been a lot of fun, and you were a big part of the creative spark that drove it on, grew it, shaped it and made it.
I hope you get that downtime with family and friends and feel recharged and ready for the next challenge. I wonder what it will be? Well, I'll be looking forward to more of your work.
Take care, and thank you for all of your hard work!
