Davis ended up letting League of Geeks “acquire” the IP and in doing so “passed on the torch” to the Australian studio, who can be hoping that Infernum’s core expertise (which led to this good sequence from Rock Paper Shotgun again within the day) can discover a wider, extra appreciative viewers after it has been reworked and given a brand new coat of paint.
