Eidos Montreal boss quits citing Square Enix’s "lack of courage"

The former head of Deus Ex: Human Revolution developer Eidos Montreal has resigned.

In a statement to MCV’s sister siteDevelop, Stephane D’Astous said the company also suffered from a lack of leadership, courage and communication, and that he was not able to do his job properly as a result.

He called his differences with the studio irreconcilable”.

Since last year’s financial short-coming performance of Square Enix Europe, we (HQ London and GM Eidos-Montreal) have had growing and divergent opinions on what needed to be done to correct the situation,” he said.

The lack of leadership, lack of courage and the lack of communication were so evident, that I wasn’t able to conduct my job correctly. I realised that our differences were irreconcilable, and that the best decision was unfortunately to part ways.”
