This is not a picture of Alex Mayberry. Thought I’d better clarify that.

Alex Mayberry

Mayberry has a fairly storied history within games development, having worked with a variety of developers over the last 18 years. He started as a level designer at Xatrix Entertainment, moved onto Electronic Arts and Kalisto, worked as executive producer and creative director on America’s Army, and then wound up as a Blizzard producer. At Blizzard, he worked on a number of World of Warcraft expansions, was also the lead game producer on Diablo 3, and did some work on the Diablo 3 expansion Reaper of Souls.

“As a long-time veteran of Blizzard he has an almost fanatical commitment to quality and playability, which makes him a great fit creatively,” said Cloud Imperium’s Chris Roberts. “He has a sterling reputation in the industry, having helped manage many successful teams and he’ll bring that same kind of winning style to Star Citizen.”

Star Citizen is bold and ambitious, with a unique and innovative approach to game development,” said Mayberry on his new responsibility. “I am extremely excited to be joining the talented people at Cloud Imperium Games, and I strongly believe that together, with Chris Roberts’ direction and the support of the player community, we will set a new standard for AAA games.”

Star Citizen is Chris Roberts’ forthcoming crowdfunded space simulator thing. It has currently raised $43.6 million dollars, and by the time the game launches, I fully expect that it will have cost more than an actual spaceship.

Tim has been playing PC games for longer than he's willing to admit. He's written for a number of publications, but has been with PC Invasion - in all its various incarnations - for over a decade. When not writing about games, Tim can occasionally be found speedrunning terrible ones, making people angry in Dota 2, or playing something obscure and random. He's also weirdly proud of his status as (probably) the Isle of Man's only professional games journalist.
