New Blood CEO says he would shut studio down rather than sell it

Original: New Blood CEO would rather shut down the boomer shooter studio than sell out: 'In 20 years, we're done. I'm gonna say go

Dave Oshry, head of retro shooter publisher New Blood Interactive, says he would rather close the studio than sell it, telling PC Gamer: 'In 20 years, we're done. I'm gonna say goodbye, shut it down.' He framed the choice as wanting a 'happy ending' and going out on the studio's own terms, a stance winning sympathy from fans of its Dusk and Ultrakill-era catalog.

Why now: Gamers are reacting to an unusually blunt refusal to sell out from a beloved indie studio boss.
