Because that shit is “make an account” walled
i wish this type of thing happened more often
Annapurna Interactive President Nathan Gary and his team had been negotiating with Ellison, the daughter of billionaire Larry Ellison, to spin off the video-game division as an independent entity.
Hope this is a case of everyone gets a share of the new company and not just the execs becoming the new owners while everyone else becomes an employee of that new company.

There’s a Blade Runner and a Silent Hills game in production.
Why do they mess with a good thing? If it ain’t broke don’t fix it right?
By 2021, Annapurna Interactive had become so profitable that Gary was promoted to president of Annapurna Pictures. Like its parent company, it relished on investing in innovative mid-budget productions.
In June 2022, Annapurna announced the formation of an internal game development studio headed by Chelsea Hash. Its first game, Blade Runner 2033: Labyrinth, was announced in 2023.
In September 2023, while Annapurna Animation announced an animated film adaptation of Stray is in development after the success of its first film Nimona (2023), other games from Annapurna Interactive are also considered to have potential adaptations
A great team ruined by corporate bullcrap. Wish them the best.
It’s important to note that Annapurna Interactive only seems to publish games so the team isn’t a development team as far as I know so presumably they do publishing related stuff?
