Another co-founder of Blizzard Entertainment has left the company. The executive in question is no other but Frank Pearce, who helped co-found the company 28-years ago back when it was called Silicon & Synapse.

A statement from Pearce was shared on Blizzard's website, and it does not suggest in one way or the other that he's leaving for a different company. He did say, however, that he hopes to learn how to play an instrument, explore other passions, and spend more time outdoors.

Here's what J. Allen Brack, the president of Blizzard Entertainment, had to say about Pearce as he departs:

"Like many of us, Frank is an introvert," Brack wrote. "Thus many of you haven’t seen a lot of him publicly, nor seen the deep impact he’s had on Blizzard, and on the culture specifically. But Frank has been here from the beginning, building and expanding the foundation and championing the values behind everything Blizzard does. Blizzard is better because of Frank Pearce."

Late last year, another co-founder, Mike Morhaime left the company as well. Following his departure, Brack took the role as president.
