Imagine having to negotiate with Larry Ellisons nepo daughter, how can you even keep a straight face. "It says here you are a film producer?"
It says this is the company that produced, among other films, She? Did Megan Ellison have anything to do with it?

On average, those who enter a field using money are less accomplished than those who enter a field using experience. Obviously.
Is this really true? Arguable lance stroll is better than Logan in f1.

For those who don’t get the lawnmower reference, take 5 minutes and have a hearty laugh: https://youtube.com/watch?t=1980&v=-zRN7XLCRhc (Start at the 33 minute mark if it doesn’t jump you there.)
Funniest thing I've heard in a while!
Article is missing some context imo : * Annapurna Pictures (the parent company of Interactive) had some financial issues previously at least (see [0] from 2019) while Annapurna Interactive was doing well for itself. * Annapurna Pictures wanted to integrate the gaming division in-house (possibly to prop up the rest of the company) * Staff and exec at Annapurna Interactive wanted to be spin off (see [1]) * Negotiations…
There is another way to look at this. Annapurna Pictures in Dec 2022 produced Nimona for Netflix which debuted at #9 globally and was as high as #3 i.e. it was a massive hit. So they now have the Stray IP which could be extremely lucrative and are looking at how CD Project Red handled their successful Cyberpunk integration on Netflix as a model. Which is where you cross-promote a game add-on or sequel with the movie.…

I think it has to do more with being honest about ones core competencies. There are tons of people who enter a field because they're rich, hire great people, connect those great people with money, and do very well. There are also rich people who believe wealth qualifies them as subject matter experts, which tends to go less well...
I don't mean to diminish their work and I don't know much about the matter but the company founder is some billionaire's daughter. I fear ever having a boss like that just because of the fundamental difference in perspective and life experiences. I'm sure I won't be able to communicate with them.
I hope whatever entity these people reform has the same magic. Every single game they published had something unique. Outer Wilds, Telling Lies, Twelve Minutes, Edit Finch, Neon White, etc. They didn't develop these games, but they have an eye for talent.
In their nascent years I played two of their early games, both mobile games - Florence and Gorogoa. Both beautiful. I still play Florence once in a while and it really evokes emotions. Gorogoa is a great puzzle game that the HN crowd would love. Highly recommend both if you haven't tried them!
Every time I hear thr name Annapurna, I think about the ARM SoC maker...
