Cooldown Games announces establishment – publisher focused on games that accommodate busy players

As a seasoned gamer, I find myself constantly juggling between my ever-growing list of games and the new releases that demand my attention. However, the recent trend of time-consuming, resource-heavy titles has left me yearning for something more manageable – a game that fits seamlessly into my busy schedule without compromising on quality. That’s why the establishment of Cooldown Games, led by industry veterans, has piqued my interest.

Indie game publisher Cooldown Games, comprised of seasoned industry professionals from renowned studios like Gearbox Entertainment, id Software, and Warner Bros., has officially set up shop. Their mission is to provide high-quality titles that prioritize offering polished gaming experiences, allowing players flexibility to savor the games without demanding extensive time commitments.

The company’s founders include:

  • Steve Gibson, chief executive officer – Former president of Gearbox Publishing
  • Matt Charles, chief product officer
  • Erick Cobbs, chief business officer
  • Jackson Hardesty, chief operations officer
  • Brad Schliesser, chief revenue officer
  • Jimmy Sieben, chief technology officer
  • Jeff Skal, chief marketing officer

According to a statement by Cooldown Games CEO Steve Gibson, our team believes that rational business strategies will sustainably benefit Cooldown Games in the long run, and this could be an invigorating deviation from current industry patterns. His core mission is to assist game creators in reaching a broad audience while ensuring it’s a satisfying experience for all parties. Let’s create some fantastic games together!

Jeff Skal, the chief marketing officer at Cooldown Games, commented, “Over the past five years, we’ve found ourselves drawn away from many of the usual new releases. We noticed this trend because most of us have games that last a lifetime – for me and Brad, it’s World of Warcraft, while for Jackson, it’s DayZ. These massive new releases often demanded more than we could offer. When starting Cooldown Games, we quickly discovered there are plenty of gamers just like us who were seeking games to fill the gaps between our gaming sessions, seasons, or even after raid nights.

Matt Charles, the chief product officer, expressed, “Many skilled developers have navigated through the recent industry upheavals, and now they’re searching for a collaborator who gets their project’s purpose and its potential impact on the audience. We aim to team up with insightful and enthusiastic groups that align with our beliefs and insights about player behavior, and together we can forge a partnership that amplifies our efforts towards launch.

Interested developers seeking collaboration opportunities with Cooldown Games are invited to reach out to the company directly through their official online platform.
