Treyarch co-founder Peter Tripp Akemann has pleaded guilty to hitting a firefighting plane with his drone amidst the relief efforts connected to the Los Angeles wildfires. The ongoing natural disaster has made international news with the destructive fires ravaging the Los Angeles area and several surrounding communities. The Palisades and Eaton fires are expected to stand as two of the most destructive wildfires in California history, with aid being brought in to quell the fires from as far away as the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec. Now, a prominent figure in gaming has found themselves in hot water connected to the fires.
During his time in the gaming industry, Peter Tripp Akemann was a fundamental member of one of gaming's most iconic developers. In 1996, Akemann helped to co-found Treyarch Invention LLC, the studio that would become a staple in gaming thanks to the overwhelming success of the Call of Duty franchise. Akemann would later go on to serve as president for VR game developer Skydance Interactive, most well-known for the Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners games. Now, however, Akemann could be facing serious repercussions for an illegal drone flight.
