I hope his health is okay. Not a lot of reasons this kind of thing happens. Especially when he seemed to be killing it for Disney on all fronts and hadn't really groomed a replacement of any note (which reforces the idea this was unexpected).

I wonder how or if this will affect Stern or Jersey Jack licensing in the short term...
Quoted from HighVoltage:Ha, it won't... I bet neither of those guys know their content is even in pinball machines. Probably don't even know pinball is still a thing. You know how big Disney is and how small pinball is? LOL...
Whenever there's a management change, it can filter down in unexpected ways.
Quoted from HighVoltage:Bog Iger and Bob Chapek about to speak on CNBC live. I can't wait to hear about their plans for pinball!
Coming on at 5:30ET/2:30PST.
Quoted from TZBen:"spend more time with my family" code for .....
1. Terminal illness
2. Sexual harrassment claim(s)
3. Accounting irregularities/pending indictment
4. Coronavirus am cry
(I'm not buying the official line they're selling on CNBC, btw)
Quoted from Richthofen:You forgot "accounting irregularities" or pending indictment.

Quoted from benheck:What if he's gonna jump in and run for president?
In the Dec 2021 election when his contract's up?
Quoted from Methos:Actually, you're correct in that his replacement could make some positive changes, assuming Chapek approves them. His comments throughout the years on what the parks and brand means to him isn't encouraging.
Chapek is Pressler 2.0. It will be another dark era for the parks if he's not a temporary choice.
