Dave Karraker, the senior director of corporate communications has just announced he will be leaving Sony Computer Entertainment of America for Skyy Spirits. His last day at SCEA will be this Friday, his first at Skyy Spirits will be Oct. 1.

Karraker said he decided to take the position after being "presented a global opportunity near my home in an industry where I have previous experience that I feel I must pursue."

Karraker said it was a "difficult decision to leave Sony" and called the past year with SCEA a "wild ride and an incredibly enriching experience. I have enjoyed immensely my tenure at SCEA and think the company and its brands are very well positioned to have an exceptional holiday and a very bright future. I look forward to continuing to follow this industry as a gamer, rather than a spokesperson."

We had our tifs Dave, but we've always loved ya and we'll miss our back and forths.
