Daybreak Games announced yesterday that Jack Emmert, co-founder and CEO of Cryptic Studios will now be heading their Austin Studio as CEO. Daybreak’s Austin Studio is responsible for DC Universe Online and will be part of Emmerts new responsibilities as its new head, along with the development of future titles. In a brief Q&A with Daybreak, Emmert is asked about his connection with DCUO and his thoughts on being a Daybreaker, he writes:
Naturally, DCUO is near and dear to me. I’ve been a fan of the game since it launched and having an opportunity to be on this team is truly amazing. And Daybreak, to me, is the godfather of the MMORPG industry. Without EverQuest, we never would have seen City of Heroes, World of Warcraft, or any of the other great MMOs that came out. Because of so many seminal games, Daybreak has an unparalleled community of fans who’ve loyally followed the company for years. There’s few places that an MMO developer can go that are so set up for success.
