Lara's Boss Resigns From Eidos Board

Thanks to Gamesindustry.biz for their report that Jeremy Heath-Smith, managing director of Tomb Raider developers Core Design, has resigned from the board of both Core and parent company Eidos. According to the article, Heath-Smith "..was closely associated with the development of the hugely delayed Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness.. [which has] been widely criticized since its launch for showing signs of extremely poor quality control, with serious gameplay bugs abundant throughout the product." However, as the piece points out, "..it is of course possible that the departure is for personal reasons and was planned prior to the launch of the game.. [but] it's fair to speculate that he may well be the sacrificial lamb required by Eidos."
