Alistair McFarlane, chief operating officer and director of Facepunch Studios, has left the company. McFarlane said in a message posted on X that July 30 was his last day at the studio, bringing to an end an 11 year career that began with a QA role and led him to become the executive producer on Rust, and often the public face of the studio.
"Rust and Facepunch have consumed a huge part of my life. I’ve loved it, fought for it and given it everything I had," McFarlane wrote. "Leaving has been one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever made, but I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved. I've lived my 10 year old dream.
