Sony got enough classics Microsoft can have them to add to the collection of developers who haven't made anything good in years
Welcome to capitalism where the dream is to start a company and build it up then sell it to a bigger company that has more capital.
Their goal is to see their company secure stability and proper funding. Who can blame them for seeking a better future for the company?
These smaller to medium sized companies unless they're gobbled up by a bigger fish they're fukked. Either they spend their entire existence working with big publishers to publish their games or they're purchased by one.
What worth is there in Platinum existing and continuing to get contracts to work on IPs they typically don't even own the rights to?

Honesty I have no idea what you're even talking about but ultimately people will think whatever they want. More power to them.
They tryna finesse somebody
They don’t have any IP. What the fukk they gone do “independent”Why would any company spend money on them so they can remain independent? They have none of the leverage that Bungie has to demand the same shyt. Talk about deluded

Gussy might be more vile than bussy I ain’t gonna hold you
They make great niche games, not sure how profitable they can be, but they got classics
Inaba didn't even reference the Bungie deal he was talking about Activision. When that acquisition was announced Phil Spencer said he was going to offer those studios a level of creative freedom to make the kind of games they want to make instead of being dictated to what to make like they previously were. All dude is saying is Platinum wants that freedom. I don't see anything wrong with them wanting that either.Why would any company spend money on them so they can remain independent?

But they don’t have the leverage of Activision to demand freedom. If you want freedom, either remain independent or don’t sell at all but once a company spends money on you, kiss goodbye to your freedom because it’s not going to happen. They’ve got nothing to offer studios to be demanding shyt.
It was something Spencer offered of his own accord. It's not like Toys for Bob or any other individual studio from that company went up to Spencer and demanded such freedom or they were gonna blow the whole thing up. Spencer could have them all still work Call of Duty games if he chose.
It's just good business practices so you don't bleed out talent. What's the point of acquiring a company only to micromanage them make the employees unhappy and cause them to leave?
Other studios have successful games and IP to make this argument.
At this point Platinum is basically a support studio.
Last time Microsoft let them do what they wanted it ended in a epic failure.
