the entire staff of Annapurna Interactive, the gaming division of Megan Ellison’s Annapurna, has resigned after failing to convince Ellison to let them spin off its games division into a new company. IGN is corroborating the report.

“All 25 members of the Annapurna Interactive team collectively resigned,’’ former president Nathan Gary and staffers told Bloomberg. “This was one of the hardest decisions we have ever had to make and we did not take this action lightly.”

I know that Annapurna have some good movies, A24 style, but haven't heard of any game from them. What should I check out?

They didn't develop it, but they published Journey, which might be one of the best video games ever made. Also the pathless is a personal favorite of mine.

Already played Jorney on the ps3, didn't knew it was from them.

If you enjoyed journey, the pathless is pretty good, too. Stray is pretty good, as well.

On PlayStation it was Sony. They published the PC and iOS versions. Thatgamecompany is the developer. Former developers from Thatgamecompany also made The Pathless (published by Annapurna).

They published a ton of good ones though. What Remains of Edith Finch, Outer Wilds, Kentucky Route Zero… pretty much of my library.
