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.
