Mmh well, yes.
youtu.be
Warframe was really helped by Sony tho with the Ps4 push + Plus packs etc
Honestly a reason why these two should look into selling off studio by studio. MS would benefit greatly from Netherrealm and Monolith from WB and Splash Damage from this. Sony would make a fantastic home for Rocksteady and could really benefit from a multiplat franchise like Warframe (just look at how much MS makes off of Minecraft alone). Etc.
There Playstation would solve it's exclusive FPS problem by having a couple studios who specialize in that
They'd still be committed most likely. Like (though smaller scale) how Insomniac still made an exclusive game for Occulus or the many games that the new Xbox studios have releasing on other platforms.
Wait why are you saying it must leave PC?
That a really good point. The rebranding was a bit out of no where too right?
Agree.
Ohhh nono I was talking about the fact that it being Playstation Studios doesn't mean it can't be multiplatform. For multiplayer titles Sony is adopting this strategy, as seen with MLB. They won't pull Warframe from PC.
Ah, alright. That's certainly different then and my criticism does not apply here.
Right, that's usually how I see this as well. Seems like this case is different, though.
Oh but, ideally, you'd still want a 3rd party publisher to purchase them than a platform holder, even with them selling. Like I wouldn't want Nintendo or Microsoft getting them either, even though the latter is the most likely to leave it as a multiplatform title
Did Valve ever bought a big studio outside of Seattle? I know that Campo Santo were from California, but there were like 15 people working at the time of acquisition.
Definitely agree here. I wonder whether the other two companies bidding would let them continue their game development in this form, though.
Oh like what do you mean? As in perhaps interfere with their games or something? I suppose that's possible
That is a very big company, for so many employees I am hardly familiar with most their games. I don't think that is a good thing.
SNK is now listed on the Korean stock exchange so I think Leyou divested. It was a really weird takeover anyway, with SNK appearing as a subsidiary of Leyou until last year, but Leyou never talking about them. They weren't mentioned as a subsidiary in this year's annual report.
They are a more like a small publisher, not really a studio. For now I think they only published Samurai Shodown internationally and are publishing the games from Telltale Games since LCG Entertainment revived that company.
Funny, especially since we know Sony gives total creative freedom to their devs contrary to MS.
Cmon. Sony has their own history of dud interfering. And I imagine msft is a bit more hands off these days.
Thanks, what would Sony do with them then🤔
