Hardly the biggest news of the day, but I’m delighted to announce that I’ve joined the incredibly-talented team at @unity3d as SVP and GM of Sports & Live Entertainment. Delighted to be reunited with so many industry friends as we work on some really cool stuff. More to come...

Moore first worked at SEGA during the Dreamcast era, acting as the President of Sega of America. He then moved to Microsoft in the early 2000s to work on the original Xbox - famously revealing what seemed to be a tattoo of the Halo 2 logo and release date at E3 2004.
