Chris Avellone Confirms He Is Not Leaving Games Industry

As part of a longer interview for PC Invasion that will apparently be released tomorrow, Chris Avellone confirmed that he isn’t leaving the game industry, a possibility that the veteran designer apparently won’t even being to entertain. In his own words:

(I don’t think I could ever stop being a game designer, that’s just where my brain is going to be at until I’m in the coffin.)

Avellone refused to discuss the details of his exit from the studio he helped found and was similarly unwilling to discuss future plans, aside from offering a cryptic remark about his interest in being part of “really cool ideas” that spark “gleams in people’s eyes”. I guess we’ll have to wait for a while to learn exactly what he means.
