EA's Rejection of Alice Sequel Ends American McGee's Game Development Career

Game designer American McGee has announced his retirement from the industry after Electronic Arts rejected his pitch for a third game in his Alice series. McGee has been trying to get a third entry off the ground for over a decade. EA owns the license to the Alice series and passed on Alice: Asylum due to "an internal analysis of the IP, market conditions, and details of the production proposal." Going forward, McGee will focus on his family and Mysterious, the company he and his wife founded that releases art and apparel based on his works.
