Head of Pipeworks steps down after allegations prove true
In light of last week's report that Deadliest Warrior studio head Robert Daly had misrepresented his military experience, Daly has resigned as head of Pipeworks Software. In a statement issued this afternoon, Daly expressed regret at having "misrepresented my role by creating the impression that I was a 'Green Beret.'" He further added that he has "nothing but the utmost respect for the Green Berets and my fellow servicemen." Daly also won't be appearing on future episodes of Deadliest Warrior, the Spike television show. "At this point in time for the best interests of Pipeworks Software and F9E [Foundation 9 Entertainment] I am voluntarily resigning my position of Studio Head of Pipeworks effective immediately," he said. "Furthermore, I have no plans on appearing in any more episodes of Deadliest Warrior."
Report: Deadliest Warrior studio head misrepresented military experience
IndustryGamers reports on a new allegation that Robert Daly, head of Deadliest Warrior developer Pipeworks Studios, may have misrepresented his military history. A little background: Daly has claimed in interviews to be part of the Special Forces, which is of course an important qualification for making games about Vikings whaling on ninjas. Jeff Hinton, owner of Special Forces community site ProfessionalSoldiers, read Daly's claim and then looked him up. "Robert Daly's [National Personnel Records Center] military records state he was some sort of imagery analyst," Hinton told. [United States Army Special Operations Command] has absolutely no record of him in their system." So, according to Hinton's research, Daly was in the army, but not in Special Forces. We're contacting Pipeworks for a response to this allegation, as well as the related claim that Deadliest Warrior's pirate was actually a privateer.
