I kind of liked Ricardo Torres as well. It seems like he's had more of a behind the scenes job for the past year or so, but he was fun whenever he came out of the woodwork.
Everyone has pretty much bleed out much of its frontline talent though. I doubt at this point it can really hurt them that much more, but it'll definitely never be the same site again.
With all these people leaving, you have to wonder if they're going to pull what a bunch of people do in the actual game development world and start their own project. They've got the talent and I'm sure personal connections with a lot of the right people.
