Ars Technica noted that the company previously stated on their website that they gave open permission to stream and monetize videos made while playing the game. The move resulted in a backlash from the gaming community, and Firewatch was "review-bombed" on Steam. In September 2017, Sean Vanaman tweeted that he would be issuing a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) takedown against the streamer PewDiePie in response to him using a racist insult while streaming PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. Shortly thereafter, Quirk Auto Dealers issued an apology, stating that Ford was not involved within the advertisement planning. In June 2016, Ford Motor Company used an image that closely resembled promotional art from Firewatch, which caused controversy from both Panic, Vanaman and others. At the same time, it was announced that Firewatch had sold over a million copies. In November 2016, the company stated that the game would begin a limited-run physical release towards the end of the year. In September 2016, both Campo Santo and Good Universe issued a partnership to produce a feature film adaptation of Firewatch and other content. ![]() In February 2016, Vanaman stated that Campo Santo's next game would not be a sequel to Firewatch. The original score to Firewatch by Chris Remo was released digitally alongside the game, and received a vinyl release later in 2016. The game received positive reviews from critics, and has been nominatively known alongside other "walking simulators". The game was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, OS X, Linux, and Xbox One in late 2016. In August 2014, a game demo of Firewatch was released at PAX West, revealing the overall plotline and story of a fire lookout named Henry in the Shoshone National Forest in 1989. Development eventually led to the announcement of Firewatch in March 2014, with release originally slated for 2015. After a painting by Moss, Ng adapted the painting's aesthetic style into a 3D environment with the color and inspiration drawn from both New Deal advertisements and icons from the National Park Service as well as a camping trip in Yellowstone National Park in which the team visited a preserved fire lookout tower two miles (3.2 km) from the campsite. Soon after, they announced Panic would back their debut project. Environment artist Jane Ng and designer and composer Chris Remo, who had also worked with Vanaman and Rodkin on the Idle Thumbs podcast, soon joined the team as well. After talking about the idea with Rodkin, the two left the company and co-founded Campo Santo on September 18, 2013, joined by Mark of the Ninja designer Nels Anderson and graphic artist Olly Moss. The game was a critical success, and while other projects came along, Vanaman started to become too comfortable with his role at Telltale, and felt that he would be more motivated if there was more discomfort or risk in his duties. Sean Vanaman and Jake Rodkin were both at Telltale Games as co-writers on the 2012 game The Walking Dead, which was considered Telltale's first turn into a more narrative type of episodic adventure game. In April 2018, the company was acquired by Valve. ![]() Founded in September 2013 by Sean Vanaman, Jake Rodkin, Nels Anderson, and Olly Moss, the studio is best known for its debut game released in 2016, Firewatch.
