It'll take a long time for his aura of sexiness to fade from the PS office

Hate to be 'that guy' but where is this confirmed?
Curious to see a link or a quote if I may.

I asked about him at the Pummit and got confirmation from multiple sources within Paragon Studios. I don't think they'll post any kind of official "Sexy Jay is gone" notice, but as far as you can trust multiple reliable (?) sources directly quoting people within the company, he's most assuredly is.|

And it's not like the guy is dead; I'd bet he's still playing, but under an account that we don't know. I know that if I put as much time and effort into a game as he did, unless there were some major bitterness (which I've heard is not the case), I would still have to log in and see my pride and joy.
I suppose I'll have to find another quote for my signature. Too bad, I really like that one.
We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.
(If you love this game as much as I do, please read that post.)
Farewell Jay, your costume shenanigans will be missed. Good luck on your future hamste..endeavours. Yes, endeavours.

It's also worth pointing out, CoH was the only game Jay had worked on in the gaming sector, so it's understandable that he'd want to broaden his portfolio and experience a bit more.
Basically, he couldn't tell his friend "no" anymore and made the leap over. We certainly miss him and wish him all the best. Good news is, we still have two very experienced and veteran artists with both Eric and Cheryl and a new addition joining the art team soon. |
Jinks, KemLi!

Ah thanks guys. Well glad he's left to go into another job and not left by being 'released', wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Actually getting to work on Neverwinter Online (upcoming), Champions Online, and Star Trek would really diversify an animator's/artist's portfolio. Even if said games suck (you make your own judgments on that LOLOLOL) it's still good for the artist.|

Because I never really heard much complaining about the art (except for CO and that is mostly about one of it's removable filter effects) for those games.

Negaduck: I see you found the crumb. I knew you'd never notice the huge flag.
He was responsible for good and bad things that happened. And I'm thankful for the good things.
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
Goodbye, Jay. You were never sexy, but you were good at what you did.

But a Bethesda funded MMO eh? It's easy to think Elder Scrolls or, dare I say it, Fallout.
Or maybe something completely different!

Farewell Sexy Jay, you will be missed. I had the feeling he was gone Zwil finally confirmed it.
