The investment bank GP Bullhound announced that the indie devel♏oper Playdead would be making a somewhat risky investment into a relativ♉ely and new company — itself. Due to the financial success of Limbo, Playdead's first title, the founders have been able to reacquire the company back from investors.

Playdead is now completely owned by its creators, Arnt Jensen and Dino Patti, and the company's management. The company began with Jensen and Patti's personal investments and🧔 help from the Danish government. As the scope of Limbo began to expand, they brought in outside inves🐠tors to keep the game alive.

Jensen and Patti cite the game’s success on XBLA and PC as the major factors in getting the funds they needed. Now that they're back to being their own bosses, they'll be working hard on Playdead's next game, a recently 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:announced, but still unnamed, game that will utilize the Unity engine and determine if Jensen and Patt♐i's investment was a good one.
