Richard Garriott Quits NCSoft

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the will-now-british-elsewhere dept.

unc0nn3ct3d writes "In a shocking update on the seemingly endless troubles plaguing NCSoft, Richard Garriott — the king of online games, creator of The Ultima Series (and consequentially Ultima Online), as well as the recently troubled Tabula Rasa — has announced that he would be stepping down from his position at NCSoft. Apparently motivated by his recent trip into space, perhaps he has found a higher purpose while orbiting so high above the earth."

    Does this article call for a racist or anti-semitic diatribe? What a personal or disgusting description of a sexual encounter be more appropriate? What about a goatse link? Thank you in advance.

    This actually is a phenomenon known as the overview effect. Space travelers often report a transcendental sense of connectedness.

      More likely he realized that outer space is the only place with enough room for his ego.
