I love that Jake Solomon is following his life sim passions, but just give me a minute to mourn XCOM

Jake Solomon is one of those developers you just jump at the chance to interview. He's so full of passion for the work he does that you can't help but walk away just as jazzed as he is. Especially because you know it isn't all talk—that same passion shines through in the games he's taken the lead on. 

So I'm really excited to see what comes of his new project as an indie developer, and I wish him all the success in the world as he leaves turn-based strategy behind for life sim experimentation.
