The entire staff of Annapurna Interactive has resigned this month following a dispute with its owner, Megan Ellison. The resignations occurred after failed negotiations to spin off Annapurna Interactive as an independent entity. A spokesperson confirmed that the parties failed to reach an agreement, leading to the resignations. The collapse of the deal, as Annapurna Pictures begins to integrate games into its core business, has left development partners scrambling to determine the next steps. Annapurna Interactive, known for publishing hit games like 'Stray,' 'Neon White,' and 'Outer Wilds,' is facing significant operational challenges as a result of the mass resignation.
