Thanks to a reader who prefers to remain anonymous for pointing me to a 1up article about recent shake-ups at mega-publisher Take-Two. The anonymous reader writes:
Read the article closely. They never actually name the CEO that stepped down until the very end. And even then, it's only his last name (I believe). [He's right -ed.]
There's also a quote halfway through the article attributed to "Roedel." Whoever that may be.
Indeed, the two people referenced in the story are simply referred to as "Roedel" and "Lapin." Lapin is almost definitely former CEO Jeffrey Lapin, who readers of this article would be forced to identify from the pretty sparse context given in the last paragraph. Odd, that, considering his resignation is the topic of the article, as evinced by the headline: "Take-Two CEO Quits, The Warriors Delayed"
A little Googling revealed that Roedel is probably recently appointed Take-Two board chairman Jeffrey Roedel, but again, readers have almost no way of knowing this.
At first glance, it looks like this article may have been the victim of some quick, overzealous editing (Note the abrupt lead and lack of full identification on first reference). Then again, it may just be some really bad writing, culled from other sources and not sufficiently proofed. Anyone want to give their vote on these options (or any others I may not have considered)?
