Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Gears 4 Multiplayer Studio Bought by Chinese Chicken Meat Supplier

walterbates on 15 July 2016

Splash Damage, the studio behind Brink and a contributor to Gears of War 4's multiplayer mode, has been purchased by Leyou, a Chinese supplier of chicken meat (and presumably — barring some heavy, poultry-centric retraining of the Splash Damage staff — video games). A price is not disclosed in the announcement of the deal, which revealed only that money changing hands would be more than $35 million and less than $150 million.

The deal also includes the purchase of Fireteam, which works on online backends for games, and Warchest, a digital-only game publisher.

It's not the first such purchase for Leyou, which picked up Warframe developer Digital Extremes earlier this year.

Random as fuck. I have heard of diversification but this is a bit much lol.

This isn't a Microsoft thing, so wrong forum section. Splash Damage is mostly known for other things (which makes the title kind of biased too).

Anyway, this is pretty odd. Also, I don't like this.

Good news for fans of chicken and gaming.

So, can we call them a chicken meat publisher?
