How is the economic crisis affecting tech companies?
38 Studios LLC has replaced president and CEO Brett Close, promoting vice president Jennifer MacLean to the corner office, the company announced today. MacLean, formerly a manager in the games division at Comcast, had been senior vice president of business development.
The Maynard-based company, founded by retired Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling in 2006, is building an original massively multi-player online video game based on intellectual property created in-house.
Close, a former production director at Midway Games in Austin, Texas, had led the company since 2007. The company’s press release, issued by email this afternoon, said Close will leave the company, though it did not indicate where he is going next.
Schilling, who named the company after his former jersey number with the Red Sox, has invested over $5 million in the company and has sought outside venture capital investment without success, according to a report published earlier this year in the Boston Globe.
38 Studios aims to release its game next year, based on intellectual property developed by fantasy novelist and Leominster resident R.A. Salvatore and Canadian comic book artist Todd McFarlane.
