Jeff Anderson Out As Turbine President & CEO

Turbine has undergone a corporate shake-up, according to sources within the company and some quiet edits to their own website. The official company page now lists Jim Crowley as President and CEO, removing all mention of Jeff Anderson.

The move comes suddenly, as WarCry interviewed Anderson only last week at DigitalLife and saw no indications. There is no word on how or why he left at this time.

WarCry was not able to get official comment on the move from Turbine as the changes were discovered outside of business hours. We will continue to follow this story as it develops.

Anderson should have been canned following the AC2 launch.

I hope the new CEO will plug the AC2 servers back in. It doesn't make sense to shelf marketable product!!

That is a pretty big jump for Crowley

Wrong Crowley, it seems...

Jim Crowley has replaced Anderson as President and CEO of Turbine. Crowley has held executive positions as Chief Operating Officer at Network Plus and Vice President Digital Content & Messaging at Verisign.

So, the new guy has no prior involvement in gaming, or with Turbine. That's....I dunno what the word is.
