In a Gamescom interview with GamesIndustry.biz, Saber Interactive CCO Tim Willits revealed that the company has "no real development in North America anymore," with only publishing operations continuing in the region, while game development occurs at a host of global subsidiaries.
"We are not afraid of any territories," Willits said. "Some publishers are afraid to work in territories they don't understand, but we're like, let's go, let's find some people that are talented, let's give them what they need, and let's make awesomeness. You don't need to be in California to be a brilliant programmer or artist or animator."
Willits expressed his disapproval of the "wasted money" he sees in many triple-A games, contrasting an unspecified recent release with Saber's own Space Marine 2. "It was a third [of the cost], and it sold 11 million more copies," Willits boasted.
