"It's less risky to be the masters of our own fate" – The AAA developers going indie

After Warner Bros shut down Player First Games, the Multiversus developer, Justin Fischer and Brock Feldman formed Airlock Games last year and are now working on the sci-fi horror management sim What the Stars Forgot. They intend to ship it without a dollar of investment, having raised over $25,000 on Kickstarter last year, and say going indie offers control over what they make and how they ship it even as AAA jobs remain scarce.
