Immediately after it became known that Kabam received an investment of $ 120 million from the Chinese Internet giant Alibaba, the head of the game studios of the game publishing house Andrew Sheppard announced that he was leaving to work at GREE.
The news is unexpected, to put it mildly. Sheppard has worked at Kabam since 2009. Of these, more than three years as president of the gaming division. Games developed under his supervision helped the company earn $360 million in 2013 alone.
It is unclear what position Sheppard will take in the Japanese office of GREE, which is experiencing not the best days right now.
