Hello Agents.
My name is Mattshotcha and I am joining the Division Team as a Community Manager.
I have a long history with the Tom Clancy universe and a few of you might recognize me from previous Clancy titles. I first got hooked on Clancy games with Ghost Recon Island Thunder back on the original Xbox. Around the time that Ghost Recon Future Soldier launched I had started posting content to YouTube and later streaming. My involvement with content creation and community driven initiatives like the Ghost Recon Community Night events earned me an invite to E3 2013 as a Uplay Ambassador, similar to the Star Player program Ubisoft offers today. It was at that E3 that Tom Clancy’s The Division was revealed and literally blew my mind. I was so in awe of the reveal that when I was being interviewed shortly after, I called the game “The Direction” in a frantic, nervous slip.
(I promise I have since memorized the name.)
Here we are now just after launch. Everything I anticipated from The Division and everything I had hoped it would be has been exceeded in all the best ways. I’m a fan, first and foremost.
You all will be seeing and hearing a lot more from me in the near future and I look forward to working with you, the community, as well as the dev team.
See you in the Dark Zone.
