Update: Bioware has issued a statement concerning Wynn's departure: "Chris was a great member of the team. We want to thank him for his contributions and we wish him the best in his new adventures.

Our Take
While this might be distressing news for fans of a hotly-anticpated game that's supposedly a year away from release, the reason for Wynn's departure are unclear and it's best not to jump to a conclusion before the facts are in. Regardless of the reason why, Wynn is clearly a talented developer and we wish him the best in his future endeavors.
