I guess the short answer is that I\u2019m going indie! As the indie games business matures, a real need for business expertise has started to develop. I\u2019ve been working with the indie community for almost 9 years now, and one consistent theme I\u2019ve noticed is this tension between developers following their passion to make the game they want to make and needing to be able to make a living doing it. Unfortunately, though, there are a lot of business types who at best just don\u2019t get what indies are trying to do, or at worst are pretty much unethical.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
When asked how Nintendo feels about the announcement, Adelman confirmed that the company has been nothing but supportive of his decision. <\/p>\n
Nintendo has been really supportive of this move. I think everyone there has known for a while that my passion has always really been about helping the indie community develop and thrive, so even though everyone was really surprised when I gave my 2-week notice, they all understood and wished me the best. I couldn\u2019t have asked for a better sendoff.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
We look forward to seeing what Mr. Adelman decides to work on next and wish him the best as well, as his time at Nintendo was peppered with several great game releases that only released on the Wii U thanks to his influence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
