Mobius said that it’s looking forward to demoing the game that they’ve worked on together for the last six years at this year’s PAX East. The game has received a complete graphical overhaul, and all of its many secrets now have answers instead of dead ends. All they would say is that the extra funding provided by Annapurna allowed it to create a more rich and complex experience for players. Polygon asked Mobius Digital, the development team behind Outer Wilds, and it was reticent to speak about the subject as well. So were investors who owned Fig Game Shares of Outer Wilds bought out by Annapurna? And if so, how were terms agreed on with investors? Fig won’t say. When Polygon reached out to the Fig team about the situation with Outer Wilds, all they would say is the following: “Fig Game Shares make it possible for purchasers to earn returns based on many sources of revenue generated by the video game, such as from advances, publishing, distribution and buyouts, which can even be generated prior to a game’s launch.” That’s a share of the revenue generated by a given game.

Then there are investors, who contribute at higher amounts (typically $500 or $1,000) and receive dividends. One game in particular, Outer Wilds, hasn’t actually come out yet and how exactly investors were paid out on it isn’t entirely clear.įig is supported by two types of funding: Backers, who contribute at lower amounts and who do not receive equity returns. It’s a positive sign for the future of the platform, but the situation is also a little odd. The results? Fig said investors made a 245 percent return.
