Twenty-five members of Annapurna Interactive’s staff resigned in a group walkout, leaving many wondering why. Disagreements regarding the direction of the Interactive division, communication issues, and perceived lack of transparency in leadership were cited as reasons. Annapurna, founded by Megan Ellison, had been struggling financially, prompting reorganization efforts.

Now, the remaining staff and former employees are picking up the pieces for the future.
