There's been another shift in the staffing over at NCsoft West. This time, former CEO Chris Chung will be moving aside to let Jaeho Lee take his place. Lee was the chief financial officer of NCsoft, and his appointment at NC West was made with the intention of improving the subsidiary's communication with home base in Korea. NCsoft's corporate PR director Jae Sung Lee gave a comment to Kotaku regarding the move:
"As part of the corporation's global strategy, global management grows increasingly important, and the need to work together across business units becomes paramount to our success. This personnel change increases our ability in each market to remain competitive."
Chris Chung hasn't been turfed out on to the front doorstep as a result of the move and will remain where he is at NCsoft West, albeit with a lesser job title.

I'm sure this had nothing to do with Chung having been the one that gave Richard Garriott the heave-ho, right :)?
Let the bloodletting begin!
I would wonder what this might mean for GW2, notably not mentioned, now that the token Anet-er has been whacked with the corporate nerf bat? I'm betting Vaporware heaven is in it's future -- perhaps we'll hold a seance and ask it how Duke Nukem Forever is doing?
Hope the rest of the Anet-ers have their resumes up to date, it's looking like they're going to be needing them.

Haha my thoughts exactly (Garriot vs Chung).
Personally, I believe they had a chest-beating match, and Chung got emotional and over-cocky and essentially 'came through' on his threat..
..which ultimately cost him (his position).

24 million dollar pending lawsuit will do that to you.
