Rooster Teeth will support indie developers with new game publishing chief

Rooster Teeth made its name as the producer of the funny Red vs Blue machinima videos, which featured the characters of Microsoft’s Halo game series in animated shows. Now it’s moving into game publishing with Rooster Teeth Games, and it has hired former Gearbox executive David Eddings as head of game publishing.

Austin, Texas-based Rooster Teeth announced its plans to move into games in January, with the creation of the publishing division Rooster Teeth Games. The aim is to bridge the gap between independent game developers and the worldwide community of gamers.
