Pursuing other interests
Retirement, it would seem, is in the cards for many of this industry’s pioneers and luminaries. In a statement released to IGN, Bethesda has confirmed that id Software president Todd Hollenshead has parted ways with the house he helped build.
The official statement reads: “After many years with the studio, Todd Hollenshead decided to leave id Software to pursue other personal interests. While Todd was not part of the development teams, he was an integral part of id Software’s success as the business head of the studio and we wish him the very best in his future endeavors.”
No word if Hollenshead is leaving the games industry entirely, but I suppose that sort of news would not be entirely surprising.
