A part of the best E3 of all time, Cammie Dunaway has left video gaming.

She faced a lot of criticisim from fans, from what I saw, so maybe that had something to do with it. Or not.

It's unknown what her new position is.

The only contributions I can even remember from her were a couple lame E3 presentations so I can't really say I'm bummed or anything.

I liked her (ALOT more then that Perrin chick) and i feel sorry for her. That E3 (08) could have happened to anyone, she was just following orders really. The way people go on about her, you'd think she planned the whole thing by herself for the purpose of sabotaging us. Reggie and Miyamato played a big part in all that fuzz.

Anyway, wish her all the best in the future.

I'm never gonna forget E3 2009 with her failing so badly at New Super Mario Brothers playing a live demo on the big stage. :roll:

Aside from the e3 09, she did have one outstanding interview that really showed she was a valuable asset to Nintendo, I'll admit. Of course, that was a long time after e3 09. (Wonder if someone could link that?)

Hope she finds a new job.

I'm not really glad she left, nor am I distraught. Good luck to Cammie and all her endeavors.

She was not a great promotional front for the company, probably a good vp in the boardroom.

She was just the wrong person for the job. It was like watching a computer sales person trying to sell a computer when they can't even figure out how to use one. You really can't market something you basically know nothing about.

Those adverts are awful :| I agree Jerry Lambert pulls them off well but they only really appeal to males who still have a few years of growing up to do, Nintendo appeals to a larger and more varied market now.

She was hardly a good face for a game company, as long as no one tried to put her in any more press conferences I wouldn't have cared.

"Cammie Dunaway has left video gaming." Lol, was she even ever a video gamer? I highly doubt she's even played a game in her life (maybe Nintendogs or something, but that doesn't really count.) especially from her performance at E3.

I didn't see that she's never played a game before in her life, but that she's not really a gamer considering she's probably only played a few games for a short time in her life, she especially hasn't played enough to go onstage at E3.

Does it really matter if she was a gamer or not, i'm sure she was great at her job, besides, most PR aren't gamers, i mean, you don't actually believe that Kevin Butler is a gamer right?

Kevin Butler might be a gamer but I'm not sure about the person that plays him.

The person that plays Kevin Bulter is going to be in a show on Fox called the Station starring John Goodman.
