Overview

  • Possibility Space, a game studio under Prytania Media, was shut down after internal leaks led to the cancellation of their main project, Project Vonnegut.
  • The leaks included sensitive information about the project and its publishing partner, which were cited by the founder Jeff Strain as the reason for the studio's closure.
  • Employees were informed of the immediate closure through an internal email, which also mentioned the end of their employment and outlined the process for severance and equipment handling.
  • The closure has sparked discussions about media's role in the instability of game development, with some blaming the press for exacerbating the situation.
  • This event marks another setback for Prytania Media, which had already seen the closure of another studio, Crop Circle Games, earlier in the year.
