“I feel the need now to move on to a new chapter in my career,” Muzyka elaborated. “With the growth of BioWare to multiple locations as part of a public company, following two decades of multiple successful product launches across many platforms and business models, I’ve largely personally achieved what I wanted in videogames; I now desire to take on a brand new entrepreneurial challenge. I am also spending more time learning about the work being done to defend human rights and civil liberty across the world. Net, I am passionate about both entrepreneurship and social liberty, and I want to find a way to pursue both of them.”

“I’m not going to be working in games for a while, and there’s a strong possibility that I won’t be back,” Zeschuk said. “After my departure I’m going to be spending significant time with family and friends, as well as pursuing some personal passion-driven projects related to craft beer. The main project I will be working on is a web-based interview show called The Beer Diaries where I interview notable brewers and showcase their beers. If things go well, I’ll work on other beer-related shows, apps and projects. If not, I’ll have drunk a lot of tasty beers and may be back in games or even something else completely different. Ultimately time will tell.”

“I remain passionate about video games – they’ll definitely remain one of my favorite hobbies,” Muzyka said. “I see tremendous opportunity ahead for BioWare and its parent company Electronic Arts.”
