Made by the people who made Magicka. Sony probably really liked the idea of the series and wanted the IP and to fund it. But the guys who made Magicka probably wanted them to port it in the contract so they made the 1st one timed exclusive. That leaves the other ones for PS only since Sony owns the IP. That's what it looks like to me.


Regardless - the IP is owned by Sony , not the magicka team - think of it as a somewhat similar treatment as nintendo giving its first party IPs to third parties to make games but on a much smaller scale.

First we got Halo and now we got a Sony IP! Cant wait for a port of New Super Mario Bros Mobile to come out on Steam now.


I don't how it's like that at all. This is actually worse because it's like all the other 3rd party indie exclusives that were timed on PS. Velocity ultra and Guacamelee were all timed exclusives and funded by Sony before they went to other platforms but Sony didn't own the ips. They really liked the idea behind helldivers so they got the IP but the devs wanted them to port it to PC so they didn't have to find someone else to do it like for Velocity and Guacamelee and that was probably a condition in the contract. PC and Xbox lose any hope of sequels coming out to their platforms because Sony owns the IP now. Smart move by Sony to get a very unique new IP like that. 

Also how is an Indie game made by a third party anything like Halo? And when did Halo get confirmed for PC or are you talking about Halo 2?
