making shit up at this point.

making hypothetical contract with company which isn't existing.

go to sleep, you are drunk.

Sony contracted Ballistic to make the Until Dawn remake.

They're paying them millions of dollars to do so.

This money has allowed Ballistic Moon to attract numerous employees from Supermassive Games.

Poaching is recruiting talent from a competing studio. Ballistic Moon is located at 15-20 minutes away from Supermassive Games' studio.

Not sure what to tell you. It's textbook poaching.

Ballistic Moon got a contract from Sony that allowed the former to poach talent. It wasn't Sony that poached them, it was Ballistic Moon. If CDPR get's a contract from Sony tomorrow and decides to poach talent from Ubisoft, does it mean Sony poached talent?

Yeah, they obviously haven't announced anything yet (and it could still prove not to be true). Are you familiar with the idea of "investigative reporting"? It's one way we find out information before it is officially revealed by the institutions involved.

Very few people knew the name "Firewalk" (developers of Concord) before Playstation announced their acquisition. This isn't unusual and you're acting unnecessarily combative about it.

Sony acquired CDPR confirmed!



And yes, it was debunked by CDPR. Pitchbook was wrong.

except that ones a photoshop. Pixomondo was acquired by Sony on that day.
And this one is demonstrably not photoshop, got it.

Side-note: Ballistic Moon may very well been acquired, but god damn the way you only believe what's convenient would be amusing, if it wasn't sad.

Yeah you're linking to false information by individuals on Twitter and I'm linking to what passes for a reputable outlet in videogame reporting. Which one of us is stabbing wildly to make a point? That's for the viewers at home to decide.

Looks like betting on Xbox and PC was the wrong choice. Should've stayed exclusive to PlayStation and continued to be funded by Sony.
