    “Cut ties with,” as if the studios were made independent. You shitcanned them. You fired four and a half thousand people, because of unrelated gambling problems.

    never sell your studio or game to a publisher. I hope every one understands that this time around.

      It’s not that simple for everyone. Some of the studios that wound down in the last year did so because they couldn’t find funding from publishers, due to the general lack of investment. It’s not easy to run a games company with no outside investment whatsoever.

    Jesus, didn’t know they controlled the devs behind DRG. Their newest spinoffs looked very…generic. This probably explains why. :/

    Really dislike games companies being listed on the stock market. Seems to corrode them from the inside out.
