DayZ lead Dean Hall to step down by end of year
"I have a specific use. I'm really good at risk-taking and making other people take risks, I've always been good at that in my life," said Hall. "But eventually, that's the bad person to have. Eventually, you don't want the guy telling you to go over the top and get through. So at some point I'll be a disaster for the project, at least in a leadership role."
Hall said he won't leave the DayZ community in a lurch, which now numbers over 1.5 million people, but he didn't intend to be with the project this long.
Hall says, "That's why it's better to just address the elephant in the room. It's also fairer for Bohemia as well, rather than for me to just turn around one day and say 'see ya'." Bohemia had no comment on Hall's departure.
Hall says DayZ can never be the multiplayer game with the spark he wants it to be and he'll continue to "chase that" in his new company.

Calyx I have never heard of this "Dean", is he good?
Considering he is the lead developer...

I'm not sure if any hate is getting to him. Maybe that's a factor why he is stepping down.

Well good luck to him. I think the best thing he can do is reinvest the money earned from DayZ to push it even further.

That is kinda sad. But as he says, "DayZ can never be the multiplayer game with the spark he wants it to be and he'll continue to "chase that" in his new company." it may be a good thing that he's leaving. Maybe he can come up with an even better game than DayZ, if that's possible.

Well this is terrible. I hope he gets to a point in DayZ Standalone he is happy with before he leaves. Man, just to think about how with out him making DayZ we wouldnt have games like Rust or Nether Etc.
