    Well.... he designed "face" for Unreal99.

    Anyway, kidding aside, it's easy to hate on the guy, but he knows the industry and the market, and he knows what sells and what doesn't and he's actually a great game designer.

    And say what you want, but he deserves a lot of merit for Gears of War.

    I'm astonished.

    But hey, Molyneaux left to make a new company, if Cliff is not interested in other businesses I'm expecting him to make a new company of his own, maybe with the guys that left People Can Fly, in a couple of years... but i'd bet he's not going to follow the path of the designer behind Katamari

    I remember reading an interview on "the most promising game designers" so many years ago, he was there and hinting about GoW even before Unreal 2 was out and the first techdemo of UE3 was shown.

    I think his most memorable maps were Tempest, Turbine and Codex.

    Unreal news, definitely /\

    I don't think he's leaving the game industry, at least not forever.

    If I had a smokin' hot wife like that and a ridiculous amount of money, I'd leave my job and bang her in every place and location I could before hitting middle age.

    Interesting to see what he'll be doing next.

    And yeah, like people said, even if you don't like him as a person, then he's a great game designer. Definitely one of the people that has had, for better or worse, the largest impact on the industry the last 10 years.

    maybe with the guys that left People Can Fly

    Guys from PCF were kicked out the company. The funny thing is that they were co-founders of PCF so the company is right now 100% in Epic's hands. I've heard from PCF workers that it's fine right now but some guys left the studio after Adrian Chmielarz's (creative dir., founder of PCF) ("rz's" lol, nobody can spell that, Polish language, so random) dismiss. We had some lols about Biffy joining Adrian's team so he would spent 2 Polish payouts for the plane ticket just to get to Poland. Not possible

    I could totally see Cliffy becoming an executive at one of the big corporations e.g. brand evangelist for Microsoft, spearheading the release of the new xbox. Either that or he's going to found a social/mobile studio, because hey - there can never be enough of those, right?

    Wonder if his leaving had in part something to do with Rod Fergusson leaving for Irrational? He's always said that he was the yin to his yang. Or or...Cliffy at Irrational?! Will be interesting to see what he does next.

    The Big Daddy will be bulkier than ever.

    (I mean the metal character from Bioshock, if Cliff starts working there, its not a weird innuendo or something)
