Yes, this is in relation to the closing of Tango Gameworks and Arcane Austin. Is there some immediate monetary benefit behind it that I have no idea about? Is it so they can keep the IPs and not have to deal with the developers? Are the Studios too expensive for anyone to buy? I honestly don’t understand how these executives play Capitalism.
Who would want to buy them? The only value a studio has without it’s IP is the devs, and you don’t need to buy the studio to acquire them.
If you want to buy teams, then I imagine that you do need to acquire the company.
