That was probably true before Epic bought them. Less so now.
They're owned by EA games now. So you never know...
Before Epic Games acquired it...
I think Activision Blizzard did.
Isn't this the third time? I thought they were owned by Activision for a bit, before leaving again.
Don’t forget - what if the game publisher is acquired by private equity?
They weren't under Activision, they just had a publishing agreement with Activision in the 2010s, and retained all intellectual property.
They already have one! It's called Activision.
Well they’re owned by Epic now, so that may not be up to them anymore.
Disclaimer: Supergiant also sold out to Epic Games, one of the game industry harbingers of doom and workplace abuse(together with Activision-Blizzard). Might not want to give those any money.
