Interesting that ProbablyMonster's sold Firewalk to Sony.

ProbablyMonster's is formed by the former CEO of Bungie, Harold Ryan and he also created 3 studios under the label (Firewalk, Cauldron, Battle Barge). Bit surprised to see him sell Firewalk specifically, especially when he made a massive investor roundup only recently, I guess maybe his goal is to create skilled teams and then sell them to the highest bidder?

I've seen people speculate that this was the scheme behind ProbablyMonsters for a while. But then again, others assumed this was unlikely to happen because they were already owned.

Sony has been funding Firewalk for quite a while. And apparently had some agreements that they had to be cut off from the rest of ProbablyMonsters.

Yeah.

Ain't like ProbablyMonsters is strapped for cash either: ProbablyMonsters Raises $200 Million In Record-Breaking Series-A Game Funding

Harold Ryan can probably make calls and get investor roundups with a click of his fingers considering his background.

Interesting approach...Take Harold Ryan who helped to create one of the best/well known studios of all time, have him form a bunch of new studios, he gets the team off the ground and then sells them to companies that need them, I mean, it's actually a little genius if that is what he's doing, Lol.

Guess Cauldon and Battle Barge may be available for purchase in the future as well

Also, a strong pickup by Sony. I'm curious what the rest of his studios are doing as well (Cauldron and Battle Barge).
