"Jon Shafer, the lead designer and principal programmer of Civilization 5, the last Civ game released by Firaxis Games in September 2010, announced in December 2010 that he was leaving Firaxis (where he was employed for 5 years). The reasons for his departure were not made public and so the Civ5 fanbase discussed (speculated) intensely in the CivFanatics’s site forums which could have been the reasons for his departure. Was he fired? Did he left? Somebody made him a better offer? Nobody knew...Yesterday (4th of January 2011), gaming website Big Download reported that Jon Shafer has been hired by Stardock."

We really don't need yet another thread on this. The additional article is a good find, though.

Haven't been keeping up with the forums except the dev journals. If it was posted there I must have missed it, appologies. I thought the news was very new being that the article was from yesterday(wednesday the 5th).

Don't worry about it. But we first heard about it on the 4th and there have been something like four or five threads on it, one of which was an official announcement, so that's how it goes.

How ironic that TheBirthdayParty should be so late to the party...

Seriously, that article is an entire day old. We heard the news two whole days ago - we've had plenty of time to beat the horse to death, continue beating it, and finally get the thread locked. Catch up with the 21st century, man!
