Sounds like if they had stuck around, they would have been let go eventually anyway…
Probably gonna be a shitty Friday at Remedy
LOL, they say they’ll replace the staff and honor existing contracts. It’s gonna be shit quality. All their partners will be better off severing ties, reclaiming paid funds, and going with the new company that inevitably forms from the department previously known as Annapurna Interactive.
2 years ago this investigation into its working was released (abusive working conditions), I think it may be relevant…
Uh, this is a huge deal. Terrible news.
Terrible news…for Megan Ellison. Can’t wait to see what the inevitable independent studio they’ll form puts out.
I was extremely excited by the recent news that Control was going to be adapted into film and or TV. This could be a massive risk to that going ahead.
This is true! But I think the “good” (?) news there is Annapurna Studios is not going anywhere, and they retained all the IP their subsidiary holds. Sucks for the former Annapurna Interactive folks that they can’t bring the IP with them, but c’est la vie.
Sounds like just the publishing side was affected. Lots of other independent developers are kind of in limbo in the short term, which does suck.
Hopefully they can get out of any contracts and go to a publisher not associated with that family.
