Former Epic Games president Mike Capps has joined Remedy Entertainment's board of directors, GamesIndustry International reports. Capps retired from Epic in December after ten years with the company.
"Like any team, I think a good board is a combination of different kinds of skill sets, and different kinds of strengths that really come together," Remedy CEO Matias Myllyrinne said. "That's the way, in my experience, the best teams work. Obviously Mike has a tremendous track record in the games industry. He's been very successful and has proven himself over and over again."
The house of Alan Wake and Quantum Break also brought Finnish digital security CEO Christian Fredrikson onto its board, saying he will bring in a valuable outside perspective.
Capps tweeted that this doesn't mean the end of his early retirement, it's just a way to stay involved with the industry. We imagine the salary doesn't hurt, either.
Thx for the kind wishes re the @remedygames announce. I love retired fatherhood, & I'm just staying involved in games on a few great boards.September 11, 2013
