PayDay 2 game director and former EA Digital Illusions dev David Goldfarb has announced he will leave Overkill to form his own studio. Based in Stockholm, the as yet nameless enterprise already boasts four staff. It's part of Goldfarb'sdetermination to "abandon AAA", preferring instead to work on new titles that shrug off in-vogue development trends. "I knew that at some point the thing that I always wanted was to make my own thing," Goldfarb told Polygon. "It doesn't matter who I work with: the desire was never to make other people's games, no matter how good they are." No amount of seniority in big development can allow for the creative freedom he'll be pursuing as part of a smaller studio, Goldfarb continued. Source
