>TL:DR, Microsoft’s acquisition of Ninja Theory probably cost approximately £90.3 million and subsequent investment into Ninja Theory amounted to £92.2 million. Total revenue during this period amounted to approximately £23 million.

So Ninja Theory is fucked right?

Lmao, Microsoft is so fucking retarded.
No fucking shit those movie games were that popular.

>only games are hellblade
LMAOOO

NT is weird, they have nothing major that they are working on and it took like 7 years to get Hellblade 2 out. it sold like shit but got awards. NT covers development costs by having their own Mocap studio that other companies (including Sony) use frequently so they sort of pay for themselves?

Money well spent

>“We’re not in the business of out-consoling Sony or out-consoling Nintendo. There isn’t really a great solution or win for us. I know that will upset a ton of people, but it’s just the truth of the matter. When you’re third place in the console marketplace and the top two players are as strong as they are and, in certain cases, have very discrete focus on doing deals and other things make being on Xbox hard as a team - that’s on us, not on anybody else..."
>"But we’re not in a position - and I see out there, I see commentary, that if you just build great games everything would turn around. It’s just not true that if we go off and build great games, all of the sudden you’re going to see console shares shift in some dramatic way."
>"I see a lot of pundits out there that kinda want to go back to the time when we all had cartridges and discs and every new generation was a clean slate and you could switch the whole share. That’s just not the world that we are in today."

Any further thoughts on Phil Spencer (CEO of Microsoft Xbox Gaming, 10+ years) and NinjaTheory's output for the Xbox brand (also available on PC, Nintendo Switch, Playstation 5)?

All I remeber was people shitting on it for being a 5 hour movie and to not buy the game but just get Game Pass play it in 1 session then fuck off.

Snoygger pajeet thread. Do not pity him as he gets paid per post.

The actual gameplay mechanics of Hellblade 2 regressed (combat was 1vs1 only now).

>>714173942
Phil and the other leaders clearly wanted to just buy out the console market. They wanted to own their studio and keep future titles off other competitors' platforms. Like we have leaked emails stating that Microsoft wanted to buy more studios to strangle the competition and compete with them. Then it seems like big Daddy Microsoft said, "we just wrote you a check for almost 100 billion dollars, you're gonna start making that money back NOW," and they had to drastically change the plans.

I’m happy to see DMC chads finally getting the justice we deserve. When Ninja Theory gets shut down tomorrow I’m going to order some pizzas and play DMC 3 to celebrate.
Shame Tameme still got a good end>>714173792
But you can’t win them all.

>Microsoft buying woke tranny slop game developers for gazillion dollars

Is Tameem a chud? I guess he was /ourguy/ after all.

>A leaked 2020 email from Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer reveals his sustained interest in buying either Nintendo or Steam developer Valve. The Northern District Court of California released the email—along with many other documents from the Federal Trade Commission v. Microsoft lawsuit that, earlier this year, unsuccessfully attempted to block Microsoft’s proposed merge with Call of Duty publisher Activision.

I got your sources senpai. I back you up.

>all that money
>for a studio that made a 4 hour movie game that bombed HARD
I wish I could earn millions while barely doing any work. A lot of their studios haven't even released a single game.

Gaming is finally healing now this dogshit cancerous company is getting kicked out the door after 25 years of not making a single CENT in the market

>>714175852
If you only care about money, then every game should be a gacha. Ninja Theory has made good games, but they just aren't for everyone. They're art and culture.

>>714172612 (OP)
Is Microsoft retarded? Why would you pay fucking £90.3 million for that company?

Oy vey

>>714176308
They wanted their own Naughty Dog.
