Victor C. Stratton

Victor broke into the video game industry in 2009 with Sony Online Entertainment where he took part in the customer-service side of launching several EverQuest expansions, DC Universe Online, Free Realms and Clone Wars. He also worked in Customer Service for EverQuest II, Star Wars Galaxies, Vanguard and PlanetSide before ending his time at SOE in 2011.

From there he went north to the San Francisco Bay Area where he started working at Perfect World Entertainment once again in the Customer Service field. He was promoted to lead shortly after joining the company in 2012 and by the end of 2013 he was working in Help Desk, as a Desktop Support Technician. By the end of 2014 he transitioned to Systems Engineering to help build out the Neverwinter Xbox servers as an Associate Systems Engineer.

Only 4 months into 2015, 7 months into his new role, Victor had his Associate title removed after the successful launch of Neverwinter Xbox. Following 2015, 2016 was a big year for Victor, as he setup and deployed servers to launch Neverwinter PS4, Star Trek Online PS4 and Star Trek Online Xbox One. Mid-year there was another opportunity for growth, as Senior was added to his title. Since 2016 Victor has been leading internal projects and setting up servers in the datacenters for upcoming Perfect World releases, as such he was promoted to Lead Systems engineer in 2019.

He currently resides in the Bay Area working for Perfect World Entertainment, maintaining hundreds of game servers and setting up systems for their upcoming launches, while maintaining the current Cryptic Studio games.
