005: Eric Ruth

I recently had someone ask me "why walk away from a business that is making millions of dollars?" Good question... right? Well, it's a pretty sure bet that the person who asked me that question probably didn't realize that a lot more than money comes along with owning a significant business. The post Why Eric Ruth Walked Away From A Business That Generated $5 Million Dollars appeared first on Erik Rokeach.

Why Eric Ruth Walked Away From A Business That Generated $5 Million Dollars

If it’s true that fortunes favors the brave, Eric Ruth must be a lion. As an indy developer he’s authored a large number of demakes (a pixelated game that borrows core style or gameplay elements from another game). Most noteworthy are Team Fortress Arcade and Pixel Force: Left 4 Dead. It has been a few years since I last spoke to Eric and in that time he’s been busy. A project that had Valve interested in his work (though it ultimately fell through) and a stint at Riot Games (home of League of Legends) had him traveling across the county.  Now he’s settled down, with some new friends, to make his own original game.
