Update (12/4/2024): In an email obtained by Polygon's Nicole CarpenterPrytania co-founder Jeff Strain attributed the closure of Possibility Space to a report from Kotaku's Ethan Gach.
In his statement, Strain claimed he was asked for non-public information about a game bearing the name Vonnegut Project. After a meeting with an unnamed publishing partner, he canceled the project and shut down the studio.
“To see internal team members under a confidentiality agreement participating [these leaks] “It was disgusting,” Strain wrote.
It should be noted that the Gatch report has not been published at the time of writing. Furthermore, Strain's behavior is similar to that of his wife that Iwho made a pre-emptive statement on the Gatch report last week.
Strain ended his statement by revealing that he will be stepping away from gaming “to focus on my family and taking care of Annie. I wish you all the best as you navigate this complex industry, the above challenges, and the opportunities ahead.”
