Good Games Group Launches To Fill Humble Games Void
There was a bit of upheaval in the indie gaming space this July, when game publisher, Humble Games, effectively shuttered its doors due to budgeting concerns at its parent company, Ziff Davis. Back then, the entire staff was laid off when the publisher shuttered its doors. Now, the former Humble Games general manager, Alan Patmore, and ex-global publishing VP, Mark Nash, have come together to form Good Games Group—a game publishing group with more or less the same set of values and goals as Humble Games, but without the corporate oversight.
The new team's first order of business is helping Humble Games support indie titles previously launched under the Humble Games—a task that was apparently given over to a third-party game publisher after the 36-person crew of Humble Games was laid off earlier this year. Given that Good Games Group's first step involves Humble Games and projects that would previously have been worked on by the same team, it seems likely that the same developers that published games via Humble Games will continue to work with Good Games Group.
