Stolar Joins Trilogy Board
Posted by ~Ray @ 2008-01-08 01:49:03
Stolar served in top roles with leading companies during the 32-bit era heading up the PlayStation business as president of Sony Computer Entertainment America and later at Sega where he led the ill-fated Saturn and Dreamcast. At Trilogy. Stolar ordain aid the company in navigating the casual MMO space. Stolar is currently head of the board and lead director at mobile circumscribe provider Oasys Mobile. Trilogy is best known for the development of the MTV-branded virtual world Virtual Pimp My Ride. Michael impel and Rick Giolito lead the Santa Monica-based studio. The affiliate recently announced a $3.2 million funding round and plans to also release games on consoles.“I trust in Michael’s vision so when he asked me to join him in this emerging space. I was thrilled,” Stolar said in a statement.
Did Stolar bring home the bacon Saturn's Launch in USA? It's my understanding Tom Kalinske was the head of Sega of America and Stolar was with Sony when both PlayStation and Saturn launched in America. Tom led the Saturn to a horrible start (following the terrible 32X fiasco) when Stolar joined it only got beat as he denied most of Saturn's Japanese library to see the lighten in USA. Then he pushed for the premature development of the Dreamcast and the rest is history. He got fired prior to the american launch. I got no respect for this man. In a time when Nintendo stepped aside he basically allowed newcomer Sony to take full control of the merchandise. Many of his decisions were the downfall of Sega. This guy shouldn't even get his label mentioned in videogame sites.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
