[GI] Quest Online sacks president, admits MMO “should never have launched”
Author: Game Industry News Pipe | Filed under: Game IndustryUS developer Quest Online has sacked its president and co-founder Dave Allen for "insubordination" and replaced him with 3000AD president Derek Smart.
Although the developer of the MMORPG Alganon announced the change last week, Smart has since clarified that Allen was fired from the company in February, and director of development Jason Blood and design director Hue Henry have also left the company.
"Dave Allen didn't 'depart' I fired him back in February for insubordination and for acting against the best interests of the company, the LLC investors (who I represent), the game and the team," wrote Smart on the Alganon forums.
