Yes they can. It's just like any other IT partnership. If deadlines are required to be met by the publisher/business that's funding a game/project, the developer/IT Shop will then determine if the deadlines are realistic before agreeing to them. If the developer/IT Shop misses some, several, or all of the agreed upon deadline, funding can pulled for the project by the publisher/business. It's pretty standard fare. |
Well clearly Sony is the exception. Sony for example OWNS Polyphany Digital, and they seemed comfortable with delays, giving them all the time in the world. Another example being last guardian.
Sony just seems very "non chalante" about these things for some reason.
