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?).
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.
