  "account": "New Blood Interactive, an independent game studio that has been in operation for over a decade, has recently revealed its plans to shut down the studio rather than seeking a sale or compromise. CEO Dave Oshry emphasizes the importance of maintaining the studio's autonomy and refusing to be acquired by larger entities. Oshry describes the company as a \"band\" with its games serving as \"albums,\" and he hopes that players will remember its titles fondly in years to come. He hopes to exit the industry on his terms, similar to how beloved studios from the 90s and 2000s did, rather than going out with a disappointing end like many others have.",
