Thoughts on this? At first i was pretty bummed out to hear about it, just because he's been exceptionally involved in the Dayz community, from listening to player's suggestions to what could be added to the game, to actually playing with fans and helping new players out. But after reading through the link posted above and watching a friend of Dean's stream, solace can be taken in that the project will still be in good hands and that he's leaving in good spirit.

I think I read somewhere that by the time he leaves the standalone should be in beta.
