Can't blame him. It's a very large and successful company, and he probably makes more money (which doesn't matter since he will be taxed to death in California). Not to mention the job security is better.
He was secretly working for Blizzard anyway. :P
All jokes aside though, World of Warcraft seems to be more his style anyway - considering he pretty much tried to take the WoW formula and apply it to AoC which failed miserably.

Blizzard Interviewer:
"Ah, we see that you worked on Age of Conan extensively. While there, you managed to take an amazing combat system, water it down to a more WoWish feel, encouraged repetitive gear grinds, and implemented a free to play model that forced players to subscribe anyway to stay competitive. You also managed to introduce a great deal of PVE content, and ignore the PVP player base... You got the job!"
These comments about Craig are really a shame for the community.
I, at least, wish him all the best in his new job. Regardless with what company.
Without him, the sinking ship AoC would be nothing more than a note in the chronicles of MMO gaming.
And the PVP crowd is a lot more responsible for players leaving than him, imo.
