Anche perché è tipo la seconda o terza volta che piagnucolano per poter avere una seconda chance con M$ per il progetto Scalebound. Un team così tutto d'un pezzo della serie "noi siamo noi e voi nun sete un cazzo", piegato a mendicare collaborazioni sui social, impensabile anche solo un 2/3 anni fa. La ruota gira.
Nemmeno 2 anni fa dissero questo sul rumor dell'interesse di Microsoft ad acquisirli:
Atsushi Inaba: “I did read some rumours about Xbox wanting to purchase PlatinumGames, and I thought, ‘people on the internet write the craziest stuff’, because that conversation has not come to our doorstep at all.
“That said, we’re not Microsoft, so we don’t know what happens behind their doors, we don’t know if they had any thoughts about it possibly.
“We’ve not had any talks like that, but I think even if it was a possibility, we’re now going into more independent self-publishing.
“It’s not that we’re disinterested in Microsoft, but if the relationship were to be us working under their direction, I feel like that would be the opposite of what we’re trying to do now and limit our possibilities. Any opportunities that would limit our freedom I think we would be against.”
Hideki Kamiya: “Maybe somebody reminded them that I’m still at the studio, and they were like, ‘right then, forget that! We’re not going to acquire them!”
Platinum Games' studio head of game development and producer Atsushi Inaba shot down rumors of a possible acquisition offer from Microsoft.
