  • We’re committed to not only our existing slate of games but also expanding our presence in the interactive space as we continue to look for opportunities to take a more integrated approach to linear and interactive storytelling across film and TV, gaming, and theatre.

    Annapurna’s no slouch when it comes to TV/Film publishing, but if I had to speculate, I’d say there was probably some friction between the film and game sides of things as far as goals and culture go. It’s possible that the film side management was being a little too controlling of Interactive with all the Alan Wake and Control IP plans, leading to the request to split.

    Annapurna Interactive has published some real bangers, especially when it comes to truly small team indie devs. If they do reform as a new company, hopefully they can pick up that legacy and bring more stuff to market.

    Anyway, that’s all to say… go play Outer Wilds.









  • The problem is greatly unequal access to healthcare. I’m glad your insurance is doing well for you, but there are many out there who are struggling to pay for expensive family insurance with high deductibles that still leave them in medical debt.

    I’m also currently in a situation where I’d like to find a new job, but I have some expensive medication ($750 a month for one of them) and I am worried about losing my insurance/not being able to afford the premium while I wait for benefits to kick in at a new job. I also have absolutely no way of knowing if another employer’s plan will cover my medication or if my current group of providers will be in network. All this added stress, and yet I’m lucky to work in a field where almost every employer offers health insurance.

    Ideally, there would be universal safety nets to provide the services you’re benefiting from to all Americans. It’s not even like we’re saving money by relying on private insurance, as the US spends way more per capita on Healthcare for average results, at best.

    So I’m glad that your insurance is taking care of you, truly I am. But spare a thought for the thousands of Americans out there who are struggling to survive under the same system.
