Jack Emmert reassembles a veteran team as he returns as CEO of Cryptic Studios | interview

Jack Emmert returned as CEO of Cryptic Studios earlier this year. A cofounder of the studio back in 2000, Emmert helped launch its major MMORPGs, including Star Trek Online, Neverwinter and Champions Online. He left in 2016, and then came back in January, a decade later. I talked to him about why. Now based in Austin Texas, Emmert is one of the seasoned veterans of massively multiplayer online role-playing games. Now he’s bringing back other veterans too. .memberful-global-teaser-content p:last-child{ -webkit-mask-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #000 0%, transparent); mask-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #000 0%, transparent); } Read This Article for FreeGet instant access by joining the GB MAX Access tier — it’s free to sign up and unlock premium content like The BIG Show.Join Now to Start ReadingAlready a member?
