I have no other ideas or energy left to apply toward getting a new Alice game made,” said McGee in the Patreon post.
“For my part, I have also reached an endpoint with 'Alice' and with game production in general. McGee explained in the post that he has “no other ideas or energy left to apply toward getting a new Alice game made.” He shared that he had tried every possible solution to make the game a reality and he just doesn’t see a way forward for Alice: Asylum. In his Patreon blog which read like a heartbreak letter to longtime fans, McGee pointed that after sitting down with EA, the company decided to reject his pitch and declined to fund or license the game.Īpparently EA turned it down because of “an internal analysis of the IP, market conditions and details of the production proposal,”. Imagine working on a project for years, having 400-page documents with clear vision for the game’s story and full game design only to have it put to a halt at the very last minute.
