Versus Evil Founders Launch Indie Publisher Digital Bandidos

New company aims to support indie developers with funding and expertise for PC and console games under $3 million.

Digital Bandidos, founded by Steve Escalante and Lance James, focuses on RPG, strategy, and action titles.
The publisher offers flexible funding options including small acquisition-type buyouts and sliding scale investments.
Current projects include The Town of Salem series and Soulstone Survivors, with plans for platform expansions.
Digital Bandidos emerged after the closure of Versus Evil in late 2023 following financial troubles and a legal dispute.
The founders emphasize their commitment to helping indie developers succeed in a challenging market.
