    I was initially excited at the prospect of this ‘liberation’

    As I thought about it more, their asking price is probably steep enough that they’ll get picked up by Microsoft or Embracer, forced to churn out a profit-driven turd on developer crunch, and them the studio will get shuttered.

    Hell, if M$ picks them up, they’ll probably release a gem and still get shuttered lol.

      They might release nothing and get shuttered. Both of those publishers have acquired and later closed multiple studios, with no release to show for it.
