I can’t speak to Ninja Theory specifically but it is suspicious that all these studios they bought up slow to a crawl or turn out lower quality games after acquisition
Ms is in the top 3 revenues and those are significantly higher (>2*) revenues from the rest of the companies below the top 3
top 10 from the Wikipedia list of largest video game companies by revenue

Monopolies buy competitors to strip them and bury them. Then there’s no competition for your mediocre games and lower quality for higher prices

- Comment on The speed of light 2 weeks ago:
When sailing boats pushed for speed they ended up hitting an unexpected speed barrier. As you increase velocity the break wave created by the bow of the ship elongates until the length of the ship is at 1 wavelength, then the hull drag prevents further acceleration. For a 50 meter ship it’s about 17 knots. You can get much faster lifting the boat from the water as you gain speed with an underwater wing, the current max speed was set 47 years ago at ~276 knots. But that’s only because they can remove the hull from the high drag environment and is extremely dangerous to attempt to break. The speed of light is nothing like that because spacetime itself can stretch and squish, I just wanted to talk about boats for a bit.

I’d you’re talking about doing it at 60 you can still use both lanes as long as you aren’t following the car in front of you dangerously close there’ll already be enough room to merge. Cutting to one lane early is like people who don’t use the on ramp to accelerate and slow everyone down when they merge them accelerate

Why would all of the cars be in one lane before the lane closes? That’s silly

OnLive micro console was great while it lasted, I’m glad I just did a subscription and not buy stuff though because when Sony bought them to convert it to playstation now they shut down the old servers and the console became useless

- Comment on Does the engine a game uses factor into your decision to buy it or not? 2 months ago:
Yeah the buggy engine in fallout new Vegas, Morrowind, etc Bethesda games was basically another character in the games. Infinity engine and reboot games I’ve played a few just because they use it (some of icewind Dale, bg1/2, etc). I’ve played some scummvm games like Indiana Jones and broken sword just because they were on the platform too just because a few really good games like Sam and max and day of the tentacle are on there.

Wait until it’s night out, then take a long walk to think about your life. At least an hour or two, really wander around a bit, sit under a tree for a bit (just check for spiders first). Consider yourself as captain of earth, riding this big ball of mud and water and cheese and birds and Roblox across the solar system, which in turn is falling around the edges of the milky way Galaxy, which is falling towards the great attractor chased by the larger Andromeda Galaxy. And beyond that billions of light years of more galaxies and black holes and more muddy dirt balls falling through spacetime. From that cosmic perspective it’s really easy to hear the sea lions and horses barking across the bay as you flour pixies from surreal bakery baskets.

Al Capone was very successful at running blackmail and intimidation rackets despite being mentally well below average. It doesn’t take intelligence to do what maga does, that’s kinda the point why they do it because it’s the only way they’ve seen how to accumulate power that doesn’t require intelligence or at least good prediction models.
