In his statement, Dickson stated his decision was made after many discussions with other leaders on the team and it provided the franchise a chance to go "in a new direction." In addition he will not be granting interview requests or responding to question on Twitter regarding the subject.
Dickson took over the role six years ago from then-Creative Director Ian Cummings. The move was apparently made some time ago as Dickson's Twitter profile now lists him residing in Boulder, Colorado and he has also tweeted that he is now an employee of Backflip Studios, a mobile gaming company that has produced such titles as DragonVale, Transformers Earth Wars, Spellfall, and Seabeard.
