| S.T.A.G.E. said: Its common knowledge now (and almost painfully so more recently) that Black Tusk's new IP was scrapped. They have to buy third party and pay for second party commissions. Even Killer Instinct to a larger extent is great thanks to the developmental skills of workers outside of MS. Its been three generations now and they still cannot nail first party development for AAA titles. I cant argue with them when they give the reigns to third party. |
Why would you argue?
Most likely the development cost are kept low, no contract with dead weight teams and different methods of work are used to distinguish IPs from inhouse's.
