Rod Fergusson is moving on from the studio to pursue a new opportunity at Irrational Games. Rod has lent his creativity and skill to multiple games, especially the “Gears of War” series, and we thank him for his years of service to the company.
While we’re sad to see Rod go, we’re happy for the BioShock team, and we know he will do great things at Irrational.
Feel free to share any memories of Rod or well wishes in this thread.

Good luck Rod, and thanks for everything
I'm sure the Bioshock series and the entire Irrational studio will grow with you!
And in any case, Epic will (hopefully) see you at the next Muck Ruckus competition and other occasions!

While I'm sad to see Rod go, Irrational has gained a rather valuable asset. I can't wait to see the amazing things he can do for them over there.

Nooooo!
But at the same time I wish Rod the very best of luck, Bioshock is a great franchise to get involved in though if thats what he's going to up to these days.
Rod is a true gent and it has been a pleasure to read his posts on the forum/listen to his Q&A sessions/admire his beard etc.

This makes me sad to see Rod go, though I wish him good luck. I guess I got this at the perfect time.

Once a Gear head always a Gear head and congrats. to your new venture. I can see him doing big things and afterward going home to play some Gears with his cog tags on. Good luck an BTTE. Time just keeps on slipping into the future.
