Former IGDA Boss Reacts to the New Guy

By gamepolitics

Jason Della Rocca, who stepped down in April following a nine-year stint as executive director of the International Game Developers Association, offered his impressions about the hiring of his successor, Joshua Caulfield.

Good luck Joshua, the community is watching!
