David Gaider announced his departure from BioWare on Twitter today. Gaider has been with BioWare for 17 years, working on franchises Baldur’s Gate, Neverwinter Nights, and Dragon Age – including spin-off novels.

“Some news: I must sadly announce that, after 17 years, today is my last day at BioWare,” Gaider wrote. “I’ll miss my team, and wish everyone here the best.”

In a follow up tweet, Gaider wrote “My twitter feed is a bit overwhelming at the moment. Thank you to everyone for the kind comments.”

“It was indeed my decision, one not made easily since BioWare’s been very good to me, and the parting is amicable. It’s simply time to move onto a new challenge,” Gaider said in an email to Polygon. “As to where I’m headed next, that announcement will come in due time – today’s about saying goodbye and packing up.”
