Biography

Matt Firor's first foray into online gaming was a failed attempt in 1987 to license the Scepter of Goth BBS MUD. The second, more successful project was the co-founding of Interesting Systems with Rob Denton and two others, in 1990. At ISI, Matt was co-designer and lead content developer for ISI's multi-user BBS game Tempest (later renamed Darkness Falls).

ISI merged with Adventures Unlimited Software to form Mythic Entertainment in 1995. Firor stayed at Mythic from 1995–2006, where he was the producer of most of Mythic's titles, including the worldwide MMORPG bestseller Dark Age of Camelot and its first two expansions.

Matt was VP of Product Development at Mythic, where he was - along with COO Rob Denton - responsible for the management of all of Mythic's development projects. In 2005/06, he led up Mythic's internal Console technology team which assessed the future of MMORPGs on next-generation console platforms.

In June 2006, Firor left Mythic Entertainment to found Ultra Mega Games, a consulting company specializing in online gaming services.

August 1, 2007, Matt was hired by ZeniMax Media Inc., parent company of Bethesda Softworks, to head ZeniMax Online Studios.

Firor is currently the president of ZeniMax Online and running the division. He and his team are working on an unannounced title.
