MediEvil is a PlayStation classic, but even after the sequel won BAFTA’s Game of the Year, series co-creator James Wilson seems to have struggled to find work of late.
In a post on Twitter/X, Wilson explains that financial problems and a trip to the hospital have forced him to sell the Game of the Year BAFTA trophy. The starting bid is £6,000, but if anyone is willing to pay more, the bid will of course be accepted. Wilson also sells a Sir Dan Hand figure and a signed Sir Daniel Fortesque Funko Pop.
The fact that an industry veteran who has created some iconic games has had to auction off his assets just goes to show how tough 2023 has been for game creators. Layoffs have plagued the industry, even with games that have sold and received incredibly good reviews throughout the year. We can only hope that 2024 will be better for the people behind our favorite titles.
