has provided more details about the gaming division's dispute with its parent company, Annapurna Pictures, and its billionaire owner, Megan Ellison. Anonymous former employees shared concerns about the Interactive division's future under Annapurna Pictures, and claimed that Ellison refused to continue working with them on an agreement to spin off the division.
IGN's sources from the Interactive division and Annapurna's spokespeople offer conflicting accounts of the final breakdown of negotiations: Annapurna claims that Nathan Gary failed to respond after the company agreed to the outline of a deal earlier this year:"Any implication Annapurna was backtracking on the deal is false," a company spokesperson said.
While staff from Annapurna Pictures move in to handle the publisher's outstanding commitments to partner developers, one project has been left in a particularly absurd limbo: The internally-developed Blade Runner 2033: Labyrinth. All of its full-time developers appear to number among the 25 resignations, but Annapurna told IGN that development will continue, presumably under an entirely new team.
