I'm really wondering what the real story is here. He claims he's just ready for something new, but he doesn't have anything lined up yet (he's not leaving for a new job) and up until now he's been heavily involved in developing a new IP for Bioware, which was his new pet project after Mass Effect.
His leaving seems suspiciously abrupt to me. I wonder (suspect, actually) if there were some behind-the-scenes politics going on that forced him out. Most people at that level don't leave a company they helped build without having an exit strategy already in place unless their leaving comes as a surprise to them, like when they're fired or forced out.
