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.
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.
Like, maybe the new company that forms from the entire team that left
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.
That deal only really made sense because it was with a company that did both things.
