Yesterday, Variety reported on the departure of Brash Entertainment co-founder Thomas Tull and described the new video game publisher as being "in turmoil" due to the poor reception of the company's first three games. Now our sister site GameDaily has a new Q&A with the company's CEO Mitch Davis who gives his side of the story. In short, while Davis admits to some mistakes in their first year he denies the company is in serious trouble.

Davis admits that the first three games released by Brash (Alvin and the Chipmunks, Jumper, and Space Chimps) did not perform as expected, saying, "we were overly ambitious in putting out three games in our first year of business. We certainly took our lumps on those titles.." However he adds that they have decided to no longer release games on a quick development cycle and will now concentrate on titles that will take longer to create, as long as three years. Some have been critical of Brash's theme of only making games based on licensed properties but Davis states, "...creating a successful original game is a difficult business-we are focused on the core business of building great games around compelling licensed properties."
