    A lot of studios develop with the intention of being absorbed and/or bought out. The plan is usually to develop some niche incredible tech that’s only around PoC quality and then be acquired.

    They didn’t get crushed by the big man here. That’s simply how the reality of the market goes.

      It’s like pharmaceuticals. No one starts a new pharma company expecting to compete with Pfizer or Merck, the whole game is to develop a promising drug and then get your company bought out by one of them so they can use their resources to get it to the market.
