“Lorin is a rare gaming industry luminary,” said The Good Search CEO Krista Bradford. “He not only built Sony’s MMO platform, but he also went on to head SOE’s Austin studio and devised the hugely successful strategy that transformed a subscription MMO into a wildly popular Free-to-Play (F2P) game.”

As VP of Technology, Mr. Jameson arrives at H5G with an impressive and extensive background in management, production, and technology, starting with his first career as a nuclear physicist. After receiving his BS in Physics from the University of Washington, Mr. Jameson analyzed novel fusion systems under the guidance of renowned physicist Robert Bussard. He soon transitioned into the gaming industry, where he has spent upwards of the last 20 years.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Lorin into High 5 Games,” said Chief Operating Officer Med Nadooshan, “Lorin has demonstrated the ability to lead large high-achieving teams throughout his career, and we believe he is a perfect fit for High 5 Games during this exciting time of growth.”

Starting at Kesmai, an early developer of online games, Mr. Jameson worked on the pioneering Air Warrior, an early MMO that was one of the first 3D online games ever created. Mr. Jameson eventually formed his own company, Lodestone Games, where he developed games and technology for companies that include Sony, MMOs DC Universe Online, and Star Wars Galaxies. Mr. Jameson formulated the strategy and led the development of the hugely successful conversion of DC Universe Online. He took it from a pure subscription title to a hybrid free-to-play model, resulting in one million new registered accounts in the first week and continued outstanding growth. As VP of Technology at High 5 Games, Mr. Jameson will oversee the engineering, QA, and game development divisions.

“I want to make sure High 5 Games continues to develop technologies that work well together and are highly scalable,” said Jameson. “I’m very excited to be joining such a dynamic company as it aggressively pursues new markets in both the real-money and social and mobile environments.”
