QLOC did the porting of Dark Souls Remastered.

Did some pretty cool things such as implementing checkerboard rendering.
Perhaps they need some more staff for porting titles to the switch and or the new consoles.

Can the Nintendo Switch Handle a Dark Souls Remaster?
Love it or hate it, we all remember our first time playing Dark Souls. The game's highs and lows are impossible to forget, figuratively and literally. In the same vein, nobody can forget the horror that was Blighttown.

I don't know who either of these companies are, but Tencent is really buying up a lot of stuff, huh?
That's why their name sounds familiar.

Tencent diversifying their investments is expected since the Chinese gaming industry has grinded to a halt for almost one year, with no new game approval and the minor gaming limitations.
The only thing I don't want to see is if they intervene on game dev for worldwide consumption.

They acquired Inflexion (Nightingale) recently too.

QLOC is the 2nd best PC porting studio after Nixxes.
They also do outsourcing a lot. 550+ employees
They basically did all of Capcoms PC ports during the MT Framework era.
Yeah, QLOC is basically among the best PC porting houses out there. Does a bunch of commonly outsourced stuff, such as QA and localisation, too.
MK11 port was not very good to put it mildly, on release, although it was improved over time.
Hopefully 50 Cent's twin brother Quarter-Two-Dimes-Nickel will still be a free agent.
Console focused people probably wouldn't know 1C from a can of paint, hell PC gamers who don't dabble in low-budget gaming might not either, but 1C Entertainment has been the publisher behind some of the platform's greatest sleeper hits.
Space Rangers, King's Bounty, Star Wolves, Men of War, IL-2 Sturmovik, Deep Sky Derelicts, Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark, etc.

QLOC does really good work and the PC version of MK11 ended much better than the barely unchanged Series X/ PS5 versions that NRS did themselves. The PC port had more features/performance options. NRS' efforts on the PS5/Series versions are embarrassing by comparison.
Anyway, seems like they would be a good acquisition for whoever got them. At least they will likely stay third-party since Sony just bought one of the other top port studios.
