You may have heard that Greater Than Games was largely shuttered today. This is a tragedy, and my heart goes out to all the >G folks who’ve been laid off; they’re excellent people and have been great to work with.
Thank you to everyone who’s reached out to me upon hearing the news, I really appreciate it. I personally am doing OK – both practically and emotionally – aside from strong feelings about the layoffs.
Many people have asked what this means for the future of Spirit Island. I need to take stock of the immediate situation before planning for the future, let alone announcing anything about those plans. But one thing I can say is that I’m certainly not done with the game, so don’t worry about it vanishing into the ether. And I see there’s an announcement that “the Greater Than Games website will remain operational, with in-stock products available to order. Goods in the current catalog will still be produced as needed.”
Thank you again for all your care. And US residents, please tell your elected representatives and the White House how terrible the tariffs are.
