Star Trek Online Executive Producer Craig Zinkievich Resigns

The commander that helped steer Star Trek Online into existence has announced today that he will step down from his post. Executive producer Craig Zinkievich revealed he would walk away from Cryptic Studios after seven years of employment in an open-letter on the Star Trek Online official site.

Zinkievich wrote his intention for leaving stems from a desire to spend more time with his kids over the summer as well as "walking [his] goat" and "taking care of [his] bees."

The longstanding producer did not reveal any long-term plans, including the possibility of a return to Cryptic in the future; however, he says producer Daniel Stahl will replace him as the new "commander" of Star Trek Online.

[Thanks, Nitrium]

I am surprised that Cryptic hasn't filed for bankruptcy yet. It's just a matter of time, i guess.

This brings back memories of Lord British leaving just before Tabula "The best MMO ever made" Rasa went under.

Is Mr Zinkievich going to space, soon?

If I were resigning from Cryptic after producing the wretched failure that is STO, I would use my open letter to pin the blame on Roper. Even though I think he deserves far more respect than he's received. (Because I'm a dick like that.)

He wasn't asked to leave because the STO failed horribly, no no, he wants to spend time with his kids.
