Today, we have an exciting update: Duncan and Paul, alongside many other talented members at Hopoo Games, will now be working on game development directly at @valvesoftware
Pretty much. They said they were done with RoR (the sequel was already ambitious, they don’t want to be stuck with the series forever) and the payout for the IP was probably worth it to keep the studio financially flexible. Joining Valve is a no-brainer imo
It’s definitely unusual, at least for a studio with this kind of success. Typically devs like to keep their IP! With how poorly the new dlc is going it does seem like they came out on top

From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it’s gaming you can probably discuss it here!

Oh yeah you’d be dumb to pass up working there. I totally understand not wanting to work on the same game forever.
Good for them, imo. I just think it’s funny they “played both sides” so to speak.

They did, indeed, come out on top.
