So they sold thier game to one publisher, and then left to work for a different dev?
Pretty much. They said they were done with RoR (the sequel was already ambitious, they don’t want to be stuck with the series forever) and the payout for the IP was probably worth it to keep the studio financially flexible. Joining Valve is a no-brainer imo
Oh yeah you'd be dumb to pass up working there. I totally understand not wanting to work on the same game forever.
Good for them, imo. I just think it's funny they "played both sides" so to speak.
They did, indeed, come out on top.
It’s definitely unusual, at least for a studio with this kind of success. Typically devs like to keep their IP! With how poorly the new dlc is going it does seem like they came out on top
Yeah, but it's not GoOd PR unless you reframe "hired by" as "joined"
