New CEO takes helm of firm that keeps games like The Elder Scrolls Online running

People want games that just work, but this requires a lot of work and technological expertise. It’s hard for any one developer to find and keep that kind of talent, and that’s when they turn to a company like Sleepy Giant.

Games like The Elder Scrolls Online have hundreds of thousands of online players, and Sleepy Giant provides the developers of those hits with the backend technology to manage their masses. It provides the online stores, account management, and more that keep some of your favorite games working. Recently, Sleepy Giant brought in Activision veteran Diego Abba to act its chief operating and financial officer. Now, the former vice president of finance for the Call of Duty publisher is taking on the role of chief executive officer at Sleepy Giant, and he wants to pressure his company to continue evolving so developers will continue turning to it for services.
