Paul Williams writes "Develop has a very interesting profile up looking at UK studio Splash Damage, charting its humble beginnings as a Quake 3 mod team through to its status as one of Britain's leading studios — it's currently developing a new IP for Bethesda.

Most interesting is the assertion by studio founder Paul Wedgwood that UK studios should shake off their low-rent reputation and start modelling their reputation on the likes of Valve, id, and the other envied American independents: "We'd been to the US and seen companies like Ritual, Gearbox and id, and to us it seemed like the game development industry was seen as better in the US. People sat in cool chairs in cool offices surrounded by action figures — it was nothing like the UK's approach, which was more like a workhouse.""
