"Motion Twin is run as an anarcho-syndicalist workers cooperative with equal salary and decision-making power between its members."
Also, this is where the Haxe programming language was created.

- simongray 7y ago> In August 2019, Motion Twin spun off a new studio, Evil Empire, composed of Dead Cells developers who wanted to continue its development while Motion Twin moved to a new project. Evil Empire is run by Motion Twin's former head of marketing and is not run as a cooperative, particularly because the company wanted to scale beyond ten employees. Motion Twin continues to participate in Dead Cells decisions. Spawning more small cooperatives when faced with financial success is a pretty nice alternative to a traditional growth strategy.
- leftyted 7y agoThe quote clearly says that the new company is "not run as a cooperative".

- simongray 7y agoYou're right. Not sure how I managed to completely misread that. That's a lot more boring then.
- sudoaza 7y agoEven large corporations work in small teams and collections of small teams. There is a long tradition of management experiments in classical capitalist corporations, we need to see what works for coops and what needs to be reinvented. But by the looks much is already working out.
- arminiusreturns 7y agoI didn't know thats where Haxe came from! Pretty cool. On that subject, Haxe has been interesting me more and more lately. Does anyone have any thoughts on it they care to share?
