Jon Shafer has moved to Stardock after his
sudden departure from Firaxis. Hopefully he won't turn the epic Stardock franchises like Sins of a Solar Empire and Galactic Civilizations into the succes that is civ5.
Quote:
In a major hiring coup for Stardock, the developer of the Galactic Civilizations series and more recently Elemental: War of Magic has revealed exclusively to Big Download that it has hired Jon Shafer to its team. Shafer recently left Firaxis Games where he served as the lead designer behind the studio's most recent game Civilization V. In his new role, Shafer will be helping with the design and increasing mod support for Elemental. At some point in the future he will also be leading his own team at Stardock on an unnanounced new stand alone game for the developer.
