Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Faulkenbury is a veteran game industry leader with 11+ years in production and over two decades of engineering and studio-building experience, currently working in housekeeping for an unannounced studio after a long tenure at Bethesda Game Studios. He led production and development management for BGS’s Back Catalog team, created the Creation Club monetization platform, and shipped cross-platform deluxe app tooling used across Xbox Studios. Prior to Bethesda he scaled studios and teams—from bootstrapping Pi Studios to 100+ developers to founding engineering at Gearbox—and shipped high-profile titles across the Call of Duty, Rock Band, and id Software catalogs. John blends hands-on engineering (C/C++/Java and embedded systems roots) with product design, metrics-driven monetization, and outsourced development management. Based in Richardson, TX, he’s as comfortable architecting release pipelines and DRM integrations as he is defining business-facing content platforms—a mix that routinely turns legacy IP into new revenue.
