Dunno, but it currently doesn't have a lot of votes, and only 1-2 substantive comments.

Because too many stories like this and tech employees might get Ideas.

haha collective action is interesting, but I dont see how a union would help with an acquisition or merger walking away

I liked the two of their games that I've played so far (Stray, and What Remains of Edith Finch). Hopefully, whatever creative magic made these, will make more, and they'll be happy doing it.

What Remains of Edith Finch is the most powerful interactive fiction I have encountered - and it beats all others by a huge margin.

It's not even a game, really. But extremely powerful.

Annapurna didn't make it, BTW. They were the publisher.

Maybe because my account is new? Maybe because it's a Bloomberg shared article (By Jason Schreier)? Not sure, just grasping at straws.

Edit: I'm guessing I'm right. Looks like Hackernews stripped the share key in the URL sometime after this was posted... the publicly posted one... from Jason himself, so now the article is paywalled.

They're just the publisher. "Their games" were conceived and developed by other companies.

True, but as a publisher they had a really good eye for funding interesting games. It's a real loss for me, as I tend to rely on publishers to curate my games for me.

I wanted to give a selection of their games, but it's so long that I can just link the Wikipedia page instead: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annapurna_Interactive#Games_pu...

No argument. They've definitely had a good eye for meaningful and emotive adventure games.

A little surprised to see 2011's Kentucky Route Zero under their name and in as a 2020 game.
