Adam Orth finds publisher for his Adr1ft game inspired by surviving an Internet mob

British game publisher 505 Games announced today that it will publish Adr1ft, a sci-fi game that is being built by Three One Zero, the game studio created by former Microsoft developer Adam Orth.

Orth became widely known a year ago when he got into a Twitter brawl over comments he made about always-connected consoles. It started with jokes under the hashtag #dealwithit, but it devolved into an Internet kerfuffle that led to Orth’s departure from Microsoft. He gave a moving talk about “Internet toxicity,” or the big problem of mob rule on the internet, at the recent Game Developers Conference in San Francisco.
