Darrell Rodriguez Joins (The Old) Republic of Fun 12 Aug, 2010 / 0 comments

Ex-LucasArts President Darrell Rodriguez, who made a sudden and unexpected departure from the company a few months ago after just one year as President, has now joined casual gaming company Republic of Fun on their Board of Directors (is that a job?).

“Darrell brings a wealth of knowledge and deep insight into games as well as the online and eCommerce space and will undoubtedly be a valuable addition to our Board”, stated Mike Rasmussen, president of Republic of Fun. “We share a passion for casual gaming and providing the masses with the ability to let their creative voice be heard, Darrell understands the space and his leadership will be a great resource in helping us achieve our vision”.

We wish Mr Rodriguez the best of luck in his new position, and we wish he could've stayed with LucasArts longer. Under him LucasArts re-released many of their classics, remade Monkey Island 1 and 2, gave Monkey Island 5 to Telltale, and made their first original title in years with Lucidity.
