Whoops, I missed this thread in search.
I do wonder how Fig investors feel about these acquisitions though.
They're bound to be pleased, the games that they invested in will still be coming to all the initially promised platforms, they'll have higher visibility now, and Microsoft might even help with the promotion, at least on their own platforms.
That's what I figured at first—but I wonder if MS will even step in for WL3 beyond, maybe, taking over physical distribution for the Xbox release ala Hellblade. You have to figure there are still a couple of months to go for the acquisition to finalize and the game is supposed to release at some point next year. Wonder how much time there will be for MS to make an impact or if it will just go the way of We Happy Few.
Either way, the situation for investors can't be worse, only better.
It does make me wonder if they'll see some additional money when the game inevitably finds its way to Game Pass. Probably not.
