David Sirlin, a key player at Backbone Entertainment, developers of Street Fighter II HD Turbo Remix, has left the company. He announces his departure with a strange post on his own blog.
We don’t know what went down, but he says he’ll always be available for patches or updates to Street Fighter HD Remix, so no worries there. Then, he follows this with links to poor review scores of other Backbone titles like Brooktown High or Charlie and the Chocolate factory. What is he trying to say here? Is this a kind of I’m done with this kind of crap statement?
Sirlin says that he’s available for hire. Of course he is. He ends his post with copypasta from Backbone’s Wikipedia page, and this sentence is highlighted:
One of Backbone’s prominent key members is David Sirlin, an arcade game enthusiast known for his involvement in fighting game tournaments, mostly the Super Street Fighter II titles.
He says that he took the “high road,” but we think he took the confusing road instead. Sirlin, care to clue us in on why you left? Does it relate to SFIITHDR at all? Who threw the first Hadouken?
