The thing is that the publisher, Square Enix, didn't shut down the studio. Tencent did. SE's hands are tied here, it was outsourced contract work with a Tencent subsidiary, they have no say about their fate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still get royalties from recordings I was involved in decades ago, published by companies long since defunct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still get royalties from recordings I was involved in decades ago, published by companies long since defunct. I would think they're paid to the studio, right? Same way if you moved jobs you wouldn't get the bonus. Anyway, I've retracted it now. It was more a general point about the industry, but I accept this isn't the same as whatever previous game was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metroid66 Posted August 30, 2024 Share Posted August 30, 2024 Well, I don't about general office workers, but it's different for creatives (artists, writers, composers etc). All mechanical sales and reproduction is subject to royalties for those people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
