My chapter with Skydance and Paramount came to an end today with layoffs. I’m super grateful for the opportunities I was given the past almost 4.5 years. A shipped title, 2 promotions, an incredible team, and an unbelievable amount of creativity and collaboration. What a ride!

That said, it’s a sad day for several of my coworkers who were also affected, not to mention the seemingly unending wave of layoffs industry-wide. Wishing the best for the video game industry in this trying time. 🙏

007 First Light is outstanding! The story is a perfect addition to the James Bond universe and didn’t let me go all the way through. Congrats to the team at @IOInteractive!
