Comment on Risk of Rain developers join Valve, announced in a twitter post.
GammaGames@beehaw.org 2 weeks agoPretty much. They said they were done with RoR (the sequel was already ambitious, they don’t want to be stuck with the series forever) and the payout was probably worth it to keep the studio financially flexible. Joining Valve is a no-brainer imo

Oh yeah you’d be dumb to pass up working there.
Good for them, imo. I just think it’s funny they “played both sides” so to speak.

They did, indeed, come out on top.

It’s definitely unusual, at least for a studio with this kind of success. Typically devs like to keep their IP! With how poorly the new dlc is going it does seem like they came out on top
