He was 29-years-old. Our sincere condolences to Kyle Mannerberg's family and all those who worked alongside him at Crystal Dynamics.

Surely you all remember him from the video diaries for Anniversary This is so sad I didn't know of this until now! Well now that the news is released anyway. I'm very sad to hear this. My condolences to his family and friends.

We've seen his talents. Without a doubt they were true wonders. Thank you, Kyle, for that. May you be remembered for that and the many things you have achieved in life.



*mods if you see this, can you please change the title for me in having his name with a capital K? I thought I capitalized that but looks like I didn't sorry...
