Former Epic president Mike Capps, who stepped down to assume an advisory role in December last year, is departing from The House That Unreal Built entirely.
"When we announced that I wanted to transition out of my leadership role at Epic, the plan was for a continued but less active role, service on the board of directors, and ideally, being that eccentric semi-retired guy who still comes to playtests and gold parties," writes Capps in post on his Facebook page.
"I’m sad to say that plans have changed, and as of February 11th, I’m no longer affiliated with Epic Games."
Epic staff were made aware of his departure before Capps shared the news more widely.
"I have many wonderful memories of my time at Epic, and I wish my friends there all the best in their future projects," Capps continues.
Capps, who is now mostly focusing on the birth of his first child in a few weeks, plans to remain a part of the video game industry.
"Games have been so good to me, and I’m delighted to have the time to give back," he writes. "I’m a member of several game industry boards, and I’m proud to serve as an advocate for our art in Washington. I’m considering seats on a few company and advisory boards, as well as options for teaching at one of the world-class universities in the North Carolina Triangle area."
