New Blood Interactive has paid tribute to the varied sport studios which have closed over the previous yr or so on an digital billboard in downtown Los Angeles forward of Summer time Sport Fest tonight.
The billboard was noticed by Stephen Totilo, who posted a picture of it on his X account, confirming it initially reads “gone however not forgotten” earlier than itemizing the next studios:
- Arkane Austin (2006-2024)
- Roll7 (2008-2024)
- Tango Gameworks (2010-2024)
- Volition Inc (1993-2023)
- London Studio (2002-2024)
A message under mentions everybody else who has been “laid off, downsized, and ‘made redundant,’ including, “Thanks for nice video games, from your pals at New Blood.” The billboard then switches to a different message that reads “we love you, we miss you, we hate cash.”
