In the 1990s, the puzzle adventure game Myst sold more than 6 million copies—so many that WIRED credited it with sparking the widespread adoption of CD-ROM drives. Last week—after four sequels, one spinoff, and five remakes—the creators of Myst released a trailer for a new game in the franchise. Codenamed Anglerfish, it’s a darker chapter in the Myst series where you, the player, are held hostage in a strange world. In between the triple-A and micro-indie extremes, there used to be a healthy double-A studio ecosystem where games were heavily funded by publishers like Private Division, Adult Swim Games, and EA Originals. But as with mid-budget movies and mid-list authors, the funding for mid-market video games is drying up—including the higher end of the indie scale.
