And They Hired the Creator of Left 4 Dead You heard it here, folks–two years after J.J. Abrams’ company announced they were forming an in-house game studio, Bad Robot Games is officially a thing. If that’s not worth celebrating, then the fact that they’ve hired Left 4 Dead creator Michael Booth as a general manager sure is. Even the staff are talking about how thrilled they are to work on new projects together. “Getting to come on board and think how to leverage their amazing creative talent is just an incredible opportunity,” said Anna Sweet, CEO of Bad Robot Games.
