An Indiana Jones game, previously announced by Bethesda subsidiary MachineGames, was planned for multiple platforms – but the contract with Disney was amended following Microsoft’s buyout of the publisher. Confirmation comes as part of the Federal Trade Commission’s ongoing court case regarding the Redmond firm’s proposed $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard.
yes, but also fuck Sony, let’s not pretend there are no PlayStation exclusives.
To be honest, fuck big companies, and the merger & acquisitions that leads to monopoly, and often the dissolving of the teams behind those acquired companies (look at EA, and now Embracer)
I wish the cost of game development hasn’t ballooned so much that it’s hard for medium size companies to stay afloat. Companies started by game devs / enthusiast, find buyouts attractive, got absorbed by publishing companies, CEO replaced with MBAs / Lawyers, downward spiral.
Literally final fantasy 16 is a Sony exclusive right now, so it’s not like anyone can even claim it’s a historical thing
