News: Here's the deal

What is Columbus Nova’s plan for Daybreak and intentions with owning a game company?

JS: That’s kind of what’s funny. If you look at this from the perspective of the internet, they see private equity guys and they don’t know what that means. They just know, “Oh, it must be bad.” How this really works is they own the company—although the employees will be owning part of it as well, which is also new to us and very good—but if they own the company, they would not have bought it if they did not believe in our future. They’re investing in that, and that’s a far better scenario for us than the one where we were basically stagnating because we were a part of a bigger company. We were just an asterisk, you know? Sony didn’t—it wasn’t that they didn’t believe in us, they supported us for many years, but PC gaming wasn't their main thing. With Columbus Nova, it’s an entirely new story. We have investors that see this as our growth stage and are funding us for that.
