the entire staff of Annapurna Interactive, the gaming division of Megan Ellison’s Annapurna, has resigned after failing to convince Ellison to let them spin off its games division into a new company. IGN is corroborating the report.

“All 25 members of the Annapurna Interactive team collectively resigned,’’ former president Nathan Gary and staffers told Bloomberg. “This was one of the hardest decisions we have ever had to make and we did not take this action lightly.”

    I know that Annapurna have some good movies, A24 style, but haven’t heard of any game from them. What should I check out?

    They decided to develop and not just publish games, can’t help but think it’s related. Thankfully their hits were developed by other studios and only published here, so unlike the comments on the article, there’s no reason there can’t be another Stray or whatever.
