wtf a hostile takeover... So we have to worry about the game getting canceled because of hostile takeover???
I'm very confused
Cyberpunk 2077. Ever Coming out?
> game getting canceled
no
If you bought 51% of a companys shares you could just dictate who the ceo is and whatever.
They would still try to make money, but their view of whats best way to make money might conflict with current studio leadership.
>So we have to worry about the game getting canceled because of hostile takeover?
>getting canceled
more like 'necessary changes' will be made
instead of OP you will get this
If for example EA bought 51% of their shares they could dictate the budget of their games and the release date. So you could get very rushed out game with less than half the things in it the old team envisioned. They also could tell them what to add and remove from the game so you could have another spore in your hands
>this game looks really cool, and sounds like it will be really coo
What game? We literally don't know a single thing about it, besides the fact that it's going to be an RPG in a Cyberpunk setting.
They're actively hiring for Cyberpunk 2077 right now. Check their job listings.
Done. Fuck this thread. Let's shit up the next one.
is this a bad thing? It means they have the money to do so right?
Theyre not rockstar or ubisoft with abudance of talent. Missing talent late in the dev cycle isnt optimal.
2077 wasn't some arbitrary number.
That was the estimated release date.
>wtf a hostile takeover
ea can buy 4.99% without any one knowing.
then they make above the market price offer to amplico,aviva,
suddenly they have have 15% - more then the other guys
then they simply buy as much as they need on the market
