| Machiavellian said: It seemed like you did not know what a pub is and you definitely seemed like you did not know how EA Partners work. I thought I had to break it down to you. |
Wasn't that just precious when in the end, it was I who had to break it down for you?
| Machiavellian said: Did you just totally not read the interview you linked. Because it clearly stated that Respawn was not giving up any control of their work. I still have to ask the question do you read the whole links you post or do you just look for one piece of info to support your opinion. |
A better question would be, did you read it? Or did you just not read what I've been posting? Because I have been saying exactly what the interview says: Respawn owns the IP. Again: Respawn owns the IP. Once more: Respawn owns the goddamned IP.
That's what is meant by controlling their own destiny. Some studios like Insomniac spend their entire existence working on franchises owned by other people and when their publishing deal falls through or they want to move on, they do so with nothing much to show for it. That's why Insomniac is so desperately trying to create IP that it will actually own.
But news flash: when West said "we can do whatever he want", he doesn't mean that as literally as you seem to be taking it. There is not a multi-multi-million dollar deal on Earth that will allow you to do absolutely whatever you want to do. He means they're comfortable with the fact that EA will let them make the game they want to make (and why wouldn't they? the ex-IW guys know what they're doing when it comes to making blockbuster shooters) and that at the end of the deal they walk away owning the IP.
