Earlier this year, Thunderful sold Headup for €500,000 – three years after acquiring the German-based developer and publisher.
While the sale of Headup was part of Thunderful’s restructuring programme announced back in January, founder and CEO Dieter Schoeller tells GamesIndustry.biz the decision was also down to a change in the company’s priorities.
“Thunderful went in a different direction over the years, building up another publishing department in the UK,” he says when we meet at Devcom in Cologne. “So we ended up having a strategy of potentially two labels, me being on the indie side and the core business being more on the British side for the bigger productions,” he says.
