Dean Hall lämnar Bohemia Interactive och kliver av som ledare för DayZ. Detta berättade han i samtal med Eurogamer där han förklarar att han ska åka hem till Nya Zeeland för att fortsätta sin karriär där istället.
"I am a grenade. I have a specific use. I'm really good at risk-taking and making other people take risks, I've always been good at that in my life. Like you say, maybe I've got the gift of the gab, so I can talk, I can explain something, I can talk people up to the ledge and get them to jump off it."
"That's what I did with {DayZ}; I've done it twice now [once with the mod, again with the standalone] - two new code teams have separately done it."
"But eventually, that's the bad person to have. Eventually, you don't want the guy telling you to go over the top and get through. So at some point I'll be a disaster for the project, at least in a leadership role."
När Eurogamer frågar om Hall är alldeles säker på sitt beslut förklarar han att jodå, han åker hem efter det här året.
"Originally I wasn't going to do this year, but it would be stupid not to, and it would be unfair to the community. I have to be on the project as long as it's important to. Whether that role is as the leader, whether that role is in a more creative sense... But at a certain point there will be diminishing returns."
