This is GREAT news. This means they can focus on making great original games and not be dragged into working on call of duty. Please just give me a new Spyro.

    Doesnt seem terribly odd. I dont think they get to keep any of the IPs they worked on, meaning MS can still make Spyro/Crash with any of their other developers. What this does mean, though, is that T4B is able to work on their own IP that they will own the rights to, and partner with Microsoft to publish the game.

      So weird that Microsoft owns the rights to Crash now. That little fucker was the PS1 mascot in my mind.

        And now Sony owns the dev that made Xbox relevant. It’s definitely gotten weird in the industry the past few years

          Though, they’re definitely not the juggernaut they used to be. A lot of people like destiny, but I didn’t care for it. It doesn’t have the same magic Halo had.

        It’s deeper than that, when you think about it. MS owns the rights to Crash and Spyro, but also Banjo Kazooie, Perfect Dark, and Killer Instinct. Like damn, not even Nintendo was safe.
