A Graceful Departure

GameSpot News has learned that Paul Grace, a Jane's executive producer, has left Electronic Arts to work for an undisclosed company. Grace founded EA's Jane's Combat Simulations division in the mid-1990's, and oversaw the development of such hits as Advanced Tactical Fighters.

"While it's sad that Paul is leaving the company, the success of the brand has never depended on any one individual," EA's Kristen McEntire told GameSpot News.

The Jane's division is responsible for several successful combat simulators, including Longbow, Longbow 2, Israeli Air Force, F-15, and Advanced Tactical Fighters. Jane's plans to showcase its upcoming US Air Force, A-10 and F/A-18 in the EA booth at this year's E3 Expo.

At the time this article went to press, Paul Grace was unavailable to comment on his departure.
