Peter Moore Resigns

Microsoft announced earlier today that Peter Moore, Tattooed Vice-President of the Interactive Entertainment Division, which includes Xbox, has resigned for personal reasons.  Peter will be moving with his family back to the SF Bay area in Northern California when he leaves the company at the end of August.

This is something of a down note for me, as my internship doesn’t begin until September, so any chance I have of running into the man himself has dropped from low to zero.  Peter has certainly been a leader in the video games industry, and is certainly one of the most charismatic.  He will be replaced by former EA president Don Mattrick.

Sad Face.
