Advertisers are beating down his door for game endorsements, sponsored videos and merchandise deals: He’s even got an action figure you can buy at Toys “R” Us. But Maron’s biggest achievement this year happened behind the screen: In May his game studio XREAL released its first title, a mobile game called Fortress Fury.
