John Smedley, the former CEO of Daybreak Game Company (previously Sony Online Entertainment), has departed from the developer to join a new, unnamed company according to a Facebook post from his account.

Smedley stepped down from his CEO position prematurely after he posted a number of comments on Twitter about hacker troupe Lizard Squad which resulted in DDoS attacks on a number of titles such as PlanetSide 2, H1Z1, and Everquest.

The name of this new venture has not been revealed but Smedley has teased "info coming soon :)" so we can expect to hear more about the company in the coming weeks.
