Funcom co-founder Gaute Godage has quit Funcom after becoming “dissatisfied” with Age of Conan, the company’s announced.

“I have done my very best making this fabulous game, but I have concluded there are elements which I am dissatisfied with,” said the exec.

“I have decided to act on this, and as a result I have chosen to leave Funcom.”

Godage is to be replaced by Anarchy Online game director Craig Morrison, who previously worked at Funcom as a community manager.

“It is time to get new, fresh eyes on Age of Conan, and I wholeheartedly support the appointment of Craig,” added Godage.

“I have had a fantastic time these last 16 years, and I am very proud of the many things Funcom has achieved. Funcom and Conan will always be a big part of me, but as I now look to new ventures outside the gaming industry I am certain Age of Conan’s future is in the best of hands.”
