Then money-hatting is cool. Microsoft wrote the script on this last gen, plus went hard in with Rise of the Tomb Raider. What others do with their playbook isn't for them to judge.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 One of the Cuphead developers who posts on ResetERA mentioned that he spoke with one of the developers whose game suddenly went from being available for Steam to being an Epic Store exclusive and that developer said that the publisher made the decision without notice or consulting with them. I have a strong suspicion that it was an Ashen developer who told him that information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 not want to categorically exclude the possibility of timed exclusives for any of our games in the future, but speaking in the here and now, we definitely want to have the players choose the platform of their liking and make our portfolio available to as many outlets as possible. pic.twitter.com/oOI52rLDAi — THQNordic (@THQNordic) January 29, 2019 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone is getting fired somewhere THQ Nordic GmbH is a sister company to Koch Media/Deep Silver so they don't have operational control over Koch Media/Deep Silver behavior. THQ Nordic AB is the Swedish parent company that owns THQ Nordic GmbH and Koch Media/Deep Silver (both German/Austrian companies), and they would have operational control over both entities.

Brian Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Quote Today's statement laid out the corporate structure of THQ Nordic AB, the Swedish parent company that has three sub-groups: Koch Media, THQ Nordic GmbH (which released the statement on Twitter), and Coffee Stain Studios. THQ Nordic AB co-founder and group CEO Lars Wingefors laid out his position on the matter, saying, "I fully support our sub-groups' autonomy to run their respective businesses. I believe it's in the group's, and ultimately the consumers', best interest that business decisions are made close to the market and this is the group's consistent business model "I firmly believe that Deep Silver and Koch Media have carefully considered the advantages and disadvantages, opportunities and risks in their decision to go solely with Epic Games Store. The decision has my full support. "I have noted that there is some confusion about the two different THQ Nordic entities, the parent company and the operating entity in Vienna. As already communicated to shareholders last year, the parent company will change its name to better reflect its status."
