Irrational Games Q&A

Cathode Tan has published a Q&A with Irrational Games' Bill Gardner, in which the developer offers some feedback about SWAT and their Freedom Force titles. An excerpt:
Q: Irrational made the decision to self-publish the new Freedom Force title. How has the experience been so far?

A: Amazing. We took a big risk and a huge jump ahead when we made this decision. There's a lot more that goes into making a game than I think we realized. Naturally, we've adapted to the increased responsibilities. I don't know if it would have gone nearly as smooth if we didn't have such great fans and press support. We're keeping our fingers crossed. If things work out the way we hope, we'll be able to continue with this model and give our fans more of what they want.
