IGN President Stepping Down

Roy Bahat departing after 5-year tenure atop gamer-oriented site

Roy Bahat, president of News Corp.’s IGN for the past five years, is leaving the company.

David Martin, the company’s CFO, will take over Bahat’s role as president for the time being; IGN did not say how long it would take to permanently fill the position. According to AllthingsD.com, which first broke the news of the exec’s departure, Bahat has been attempting to engineer a spinoff of IGN from the rest of News Corp. over the past year or so, to no avail.
