Here&#8217;s her message in full:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Last week, I wrapped up at Nintendo. It\u2019s been an honor to work with such wonderful people. But the pandemic has emphatically underscored that life is short and not to be taken for granted. I have roads yet to explore. And, clich\u00e9 as it is, there\u2019s no time like the present.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>I recognize that being able to take this step back is a privilege, and it\u2019s not a move I make lightly. I\u2019m excited to share future updates with you as I figure out what comes next.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>I\u2019m going to recharge, spend time with friends and family, dig into projects and creative pursuits that\u2019ve been languishing on the back burner far too long, and consider new ways to contribute to the industries and people I care about.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Video games and the gaming community remain a huge part of my life. This is an industry I am passionate about. I think it\u2019s incredible. I think it can be even better. And I don\u2019t think I\u2019m done with it yet.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<aside class=\"object object-youtube\">\n<figure class=\"youtube\" data-videoid=\"bKjrbw7y3_k\">[embedded content]<figcaption class=\"youtube-sub\">Subscribe to <a class=\"external\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/subscription_center?add_user=nintendolife\">Nintendo Life<\/a> on <span class=\"g-ytsubscribe\" data-channel=\"nintendolife\" data-layout=\"default\" data-count=\"default\"><a class=\"external\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/nintendolife\">YouTube<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/aside>\n<p><em>On behalf of the community here at Nintendo Life, we wish Samantha all the best in her future endeavors.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image: Nintendo Nintendo of America employee Samantha Robertson has revealed she&#8217;s left the company after 11 years.
