I’d say it was a good way for teams to get a new boost of energy. Also, some of us just want to do games that draw a lot of inspiration from older games like old arcade games and stuff like that so yes, I definitely think so.” – Avalanche’s Axel Lindberg on the firm’s presence in the the digital market after Renegade Ops.
