From Variety (http://www.variety.com) we get word that Brash Entertainment's founder Larry Shapiro has left the company reportedly due to a concern over the quality of the games.
Brash was set last year with the sole purpose of producing movie licensed titles. Reviewers have been unimpressed with the companies offerings so far.
I just wrote about co-founder and board member Thomas Tull leaving Brash. As I noted, president and co-founder Nicholas Longano split in May. But I just found out that I actually missed out on another high profile departure.
Turns out that Larry Shapiro, who left his position as co-head of CAA's videogame department last year to become Brash's Chief Creative Officer, left the company in July. That's three high profile departures in the span of five months during only the company's second year of existence. You know how I said below that Tull leaving is not a good sign? Now it turns out it's an even worse sign than I had thought. Brash is, pretty undeniably, a company in turmoil.
This may well affect the companies ability to grab the big names as these were some major Hollywood players.

I never really got the impression that Brash was established with quality in mind. Has anybody here enjoyed their games?
