The entire staff of beloved game publisher Annapurna Interactive has resigned
They wanted to spin out the game division.
the entire staff of Annapurna Interactive, the gaming division of Megan Ellison’s Annapurna, has resigned after failing to convince Ellison to let them spin off its games division into a new company. IGN is corroborating the report.
“All 25 members of the Annapurna Interactive team collectively resigned,’’ former president Nathan Gary and staffers told Bloomberg. “This was one of the hardest decisions we have ever had to make and we did not take this action lightly.”
Happy to see solidarity and defiance, but...
but also, good for them for standing their ground. sounds like things were being shuffled around there and I'm sure they'll be back in some capacity elsewhereI know that Annapurna have some good movies, A24 style, but haven't heard of any game from them. What should I check out?
Outer Wilds is under their umbrella, and it's my favorite game of all time.
What do you like about it? It's one I've almost bought multiple times.
Edit. Well you've convinced me. I never looked into it and I assumed that it was some sort of open world game, not that it was story and puzzle driven. I'll definitely be checking this out. Thanks for the recommendation wonderful internet people.
They also published Stray which is very adorable.
I enjoyed Donut County and Neon White that they published
They decided to develop and not just publish games, can’t help but think it’s related. Thankfully their hits were developed by other studios and only published here, so unlike the comments on the article, there’s no reason there can’t be another Stray or whatever.
i hope all games studios shutter forever + the entire profession goes back to monke with nothing more than tiny doujin teams working together. at least until capitalism finally crumbles
