I just hope they stay independent but if they get bought out so be it. I just want to see these guys make some stuff with a quality budget.

This sound like a recipe for great things.

Awesome. You can tell by his wording that Blizzard (after the acquisition from Activision) became corporate and lost all their passion. I have been saying it for years and you could genuinely feel it in their games that their lost their soul. Also the name is a big hint as well.

Great to hear that they are going go try it. It will be hard and it will take time, but I hope they can pull through. I will be looking forward to what they are making.

Excellent news! It's easier than ever for talent to go their own way. I think as acquisitions, layoffs, and industry shuffles continue to increase, veterans will just say "screw it" and go indie.

We're watching the ongoing rebirth of AA.

That's basically Blizzard except without Blizzard's badge and Vivendi's oversight, that can end up pretty neat indeed.
