Targeted by a complaint from a former companion since May 2020, Justin Roiland is the subject of two counts of assault and battery and forcible confinement. The defendant had pleaded not guilty during his preliminary hearing in Orange County court and no date has yet been set for his possible trial. His lawyer remains hopeful that the case will be dismissed once the prosecutor’s office completes its methodical review of the evidence, knowing that another preliminary hearing has been set for April 27. But for the business partners of Justin Roiland, the case seems already heard. The first earthquake came from the Adult Swim channel which has confirmed having cut ties with the 42-year-old comedian, while fully intending to continue production of the 7th season of rick and morty by entrusting the writing and the voices of the characters to other professionals.

Down on Life

In addition to the success of rick and morty, Justin Roiland was experiencing his first great success in the field of video games with Squanch Games, a studio he had co-founded in 2016 to make games with his characteristic absurd humor. After some esteem successes limited to virtual reality devices (Accounting, Dr. Splorchy Presents: Space Heroes and especially Trover Saves the Universe), Squanch Games had an unexpected blast with High on Life, which made Microsoft proud by becoming the best third-party game startup as well as the best Xbox Game Pass launch of 2022. In a year without a major exclusive for Microsoft, the humorous FPS then became the center of attention and was held up as a new example of success for the Xbox Game Pass model, which even gave a layer of it a few days ago with a special advertisement.

Bad luck for Microsoft, High on Life now risks rhyming above all with a feeling of unease given that Squanch Games has also just separated from Justin Roiland, without waiting for justice to go further. “On January 16, 2023, Squanch Games received the resignation of Justin Roiland. The passionate team at Squanch Games will continue to develop games that our fans will enjoy while continuing to support and improve High on Life.“, can we read in the press release published on Twitter.
