It's been a rough time for the game industry, with layoffs, studio closures, more layoffs, more studio closures, yet more layoffs, and yet more studio closures dominating the headlines for longer than I'm willing to admit to myself. But that doesn't mean game development is without its success stories, and the boss of the publisher that brought us Space Marine 2 says there are plenty of success stories around the industry to latch onto.
"There are plenty of games and publishers that are seeing very healthy performances," as Geoffroy Sardin, CEO of Focus Entertainment owner Pullup tells The Game Business. "Pullup and Space Marine 2 are not alone in having a great year. Look at the really strong numbers achieved recently by our Frenchy friends with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and also Monster Hunter Wilds and Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. They all broke records."
