Who cuts the checks over there? Ok, then. And I'm sure you understand acquisitions don't just happen over the course of weeks. Only thing we know is that Sony moneyhatted to keep it off a competing platform. Arkane been making Deathloop-esque type games for decades, not sure why they'd suddenly need Sony's help to cover the costs.
If they didn’t need help to cover cost they wouldn’t have accepted a timed exclusivity and marketing deal. Arkane games sell like shyt, despite being well received critically. Bethesda themselves went to microsoft because they were bleeding money, which is why starfield and elderscrolls ahve been in production for so long.
Yes, Arkane was happy to get that sony check
