David Perry has had enough! He's out of here! You won't have him to kick around anymore, Atari!

Well, maybe it wasn't a rash, bad-blood kind of departure, according to the Orange County Register. Just before Atari announced that they'd be reducing their stuff and putting their development studios up for sale, Perry resigned from the studio he founded in 1993, Shiny.

Perry says he's doing it for the good of the studio, that he can help attract potential buyers, but not while employed at Shiny. According to DP:

"If I m an employee of Atari, then I d be stepping all over them. This way, I m representing a buyer. I can act swiftly and get buyers on the table. I pitched Shiny last time and got $47 million."

Good luck, David. But no more Matrix games, please and thank you!
