Reader Discussion: Do You Follow Developers To Their New Studios?
More and more developers are leaving their longtime studios and striking out on their own. How willing are you to follow them now that they are removed from the companies and franchises that made them famous?
Yesterday, Koji Igarashi, known for his longtime stewardship of Castlevania's handheld titles, left the company to start his own studio. He's by no means the first to do this, and he certainly won't be the last.
A change of scenery might be just what some of these developers need to reinvigorate their creative juices, but how willing are you to give a new game at their new studio a chance? What if the game is a departure from what you knew them for?
To contemplate the flip side of this coin – What happens when known-franchises are handed off to new developers – take a look at Kyle's reader discussion.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
