Following a statement from Daybreak Game Company that president John Smedley was taking some time off and stepping down from his role into a different one, it seems that it's been confirmed that he has fully left the company for good.
The move comes as the result of a harassment campaign by a hacker group that saw Smedley's financial details leaked online and a bomb threat being made. It resulted in Smedley taking to Twitter to vow he'd track down and bring down those responsible, even threatening to pursue the parents of the hackers in court. He stepped down not soon after and his Facebook lists him now as the CEO of a new, as of yet unknown company.
Daybreak confirmed the leaving to GameInformer, "On behalf of Daybreak, we wish Smed well in his new endeavors. Any questions regarding his new business should be directed to him."
