Neil Young - no not that Neil Young, but the game developer of the same name - has always been an interesting geek to watch. Back in the 2001, he developed Majestic - a mind-blowing but ill-fated title that unfolded in phone messages and faxes (and, oh yeah, computer game stuff too). Majestic pioneered what's now known as "alternate reality games."
Young went on to head up Electronic Arts' LA studio, which sought to bridge the game/Hollywood talent. EALA produced, among other things, the upcoming titles from Steven Spielberg. Now word comes that Young has left EALA to lead ng:moco - a new publisher devoted to mobile games, particularly for the iPhone. Hopefully, he'll bring back a new version of Majestic or, rather, iMaj.
