American McGee is done with game design, to boot.
An update on American McGee’s Alice: Asylum patreon project has revealed that EA won’t be taking on a sequel to the 2000 and 2011 Alice series, which creator McGee has been trying to get made for something like (opens in new tab) six years now (opens in new tab). McGee says EA is neither interested in funding the project itself nor licensing the Alice IP to McGee.
„They have ultimately decided to pass on the project based on an internal analysis of the IP, market conditions, and details of the production proposal.

The Alice: Asylum project has been an effort by McGee to put together a detailed pitch document with art and concepts in order to get EA to fund a sequel or allow it to be made via licensing the world.
