Ryan Payton Leaves The House Of Snake

The Internet is abuzz this morning with the news that Kojima Productions Assistant Producer Ryan Payton has decided to leave the company. Credited with introducing the Metal Gear Solid makers to the Western style of game development, Payton also ran a weekly blog and podcast that kept eager fans in the loop on the games productions while featuring a revolving door of guests from members of the gaming press to Solid Snake himself, David Hayter. In regards to his reason for leaving Payton cites family issues and says of his decision:
It's not easy leaving my other family (the MGS team), but with everybody taking time off and not having any other big projects to shift focus to, it feels like this is how it's supposed to be. It's fate.
As for where Ryan Payton will show up next, he's not saying. It is safe to assume that wherever he lands we'll be hearing more from this very talented (and very handsome) man.
