Damien "Puuk" Foletto has left <a target=_blank href=http://www.silver-style.com>Silver Style[/url] to work on the new LotR RTS game at <a target=_Blank href=http://www.ea.com>Electronic Arts[/url], as announced by SS's Carsten Strehse in <a target=_blank href=http://www.silver-style.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1753>this thread[/url]:

• Sad day for Silver Style... Damien told me that he will accept an offer from Electronic Arts. He will work on their upcoming Lord of the Rings RTS.
  
  It was a pleasure to work with Damien. We totally understand this decision, because working on a LOR product is a chance that may come only once a live time. Congrats to EA, they get a really great designer and a fine guy as a colleague.
  
  You don't need to worry about TF. We were prepared that something like that can happen and Damien worked very fast and was always on time with his tasks. So we don't get a serious problem regarding our working plans.

Fortunately, Silver Style still has Jeff Husges, and can still put "by the creators of Fallout 3" on the box!

Cheers, Kudlaty!
