This is an episode from BosBattle, the predecessor to How Indie Games Get Made.

Proletariat Inc. co-founder and CEO Seth Sivak discusses why his Boston indie studio decided to enter the saturated battle royale space with Spellbreak, how getting laid off at Zynga led him to form Proletariat, and what he learned from the studio's first two games that focused on mobile and streaming.
