Creators of risk of rain

Since Risk of Rain has been coop it would be nice if they were brought on to work on a new coop title, since I’m not always in the mood for pvp and the commitment it can require to stay ahead in order to not get stomped.

Thought I was in the Dune community for a minute. :-)

This reminds me of when Campo Santo (Firewatch dev studio) was bought by Valve so they could have more resources. Then they never made another game ever again. :b I’ve heard they’re cool with it, but who knows.

Well, that sounds like the beginning of the end.

These guys have it made if you ask me. They sold development for Risk of Rain 2 to Gearbox (which, turned out not so great for Risk of Rain 2, but they were done developing it themselves anyway) and probably got a decent bit of money out of that, then they partnered with Gearbox to crank out a beautiful remaster of Risk of Rain. Now they have jobs at a company that paid out about $450 million to its 336 employees in 2021. I’ve been following these guys since DEADBOLT, and it’s nice to see them set up with cush jobs. No doubt they have leftover money from Gearbox; I’m sure these guys will set off on their own to make a passion project when the time comes.

That’s pretty awesome. Well earned, I think. The risk of rain games were all splendid under their ownership, and only recently took a nosedive with gearbox fucking up a working machine.

They dodged the responsibility of creating a 4D ROR

Damn, from ror2 to valve. That’s something else
