Comment on Cancelled Quake 4 expansion gets surprise GitHub release after former XCOM 2 developer discovers it on an old hard drive: 'This essentially saved my life'
What do you mean “gone” did I miss some kind of dev genocide after 2005?
Yes, lots of layoffs and devs just moving on.
Ah, so they still exist, but because they aren’t still making stuff for you they no longer have any right to the things they created. Got it.
They have made stuff for me, just getting them back together to make another XCOM is very very unlikely. Do you understand how IP ownership works?
Yes. Do you?
You DO understand that just because the original developers don’t still work in the same room that things do not become public domain, right?
