Andreas Weidenhaupt, CEO of Frogster, has announced his impending resignation from the company. Weidenhaupt will be stepping down in April of this year to focus on other projects but will remain a consultant with Frogster afterward.
Weidenhaupt has been one of the most public faces of the company, particularly for Runes of Magic and TERA.
Frogster's chairman of the executive board Christoph Gerlinger had this to say about Andreas' departure: "We thank Andreas kindly for his job performance of the past years, the amicable co-operation with the executive board colleagues and for his significant contribution to the success of Frogster. In the course of last year, Andreas managed to fill the Frogster product pipeline with excellent titles for the next years in advance."

Any news about the "mad hacker" griefing on Frogster?
Didn't hear about him for some time.

i wonder if this is a reaction due to percieved bad press prevailing about Frogster and its relationship with its customers. Its a common practise, CEO's being moved on as a quick fix for bad press. Not sure why its a fix, i think its more of a scapegoating exercise, in exactly the same way as goats were symbolically burdened with the bad luck of a village and the turfed out into the wildernesse. Ah well, you gotta laugh...

Nah, I reckon he just felt it was time to move on and do different things. A man can only take so much of the same thing you know.

This is true. It's why I gave up IT and became an antelope herder.

Strange he looks a bit like Tom Arnold?!

It's all because of Mythos! He's afraid of the ensuing bloodbath when Frogster announces that they're going to block non-European IPs!
Just kidding, of course.
