Quoted from RandomTask:Well, I'm glad my simple question asking for some confirmation has devolved into childish name calling, complaining and downvote parties... Pinside is fun! :/
Now that it's out there, I'll go ahead and say it. To answer your question: At MGC Jeremy Packer told me that Christopher Franchi quit the week before. That's when he did his fb post about Beetlejuice. I had it confirmed by Zach Meny (friend of franchi) and Brett Abess from JJP had also heard about it. Sounds like he quit for real this time.
Also, ZombieYeti told me that he just started working on a game at Stern (currently just on one project). He said that game won't be coming out this year (likely next), and that the license is one that he has not heard a rumor for yet. Pretty Cool!
