Re: Company Acquisition
Yes, this question has a lot to do with the original people no longer being in control. Thats sort of a key thing here. An example would be like Infinity Ward. Activision purchased COD more or less and then people worked on it under their power. It has to do with a company having the majority power over another. I am… -
Re: Company Acquisition
I.. I would really like somebody to point out where I defined success. Anybody. I'd like to see it. I don't recall actually laying that out as a rule and more so recall stating it as something that can be open to the poster. I gave examples, which are not my opinion, but since the first example was ROI, obviously it is the… -
Re: Company Acquisition
Your taking that out of context. The context it is in is that its directly under my previous quote. Earthquake, you are taking that out of context. Re-read my original post. I will entertain different perspectives ON COMPANY AQUISITIONS. These can include but are not limited to. ----ROI - Return on Investment ----Personal… -
Re: Company Acquisition
Certainly, this is mostly an example of valve making good hires, however they have a history of picking up established projects, more so than "teams" or companes, and developing those projects internally. Not in any way the same thing as your standard hostile takeover, but I think relevant in this discussion none the less. -
Re: Company Acquisition
If you just want facts, or a list of some specific obscure criteria, do the research yourself? If you want opinions, post on a message board. Its sort of silly getting upset that people would post their opinions on a public forum, that is the entire point afterall. I mean, do you want to have a discussion, or do you want… -
Re: Company Acquisition
Yeah this sounds like a pretty good example. Thanks. Seems like both benefited in enough ways that you could say it was a pretty good setup. Seems like even if the original owners of Bungie hated making Halo 3 or something... it had no real negative effect on things at large. I do feel like a lot of Halos success comes… -
Re: Company Acquisition
Take it for what it's worth. If the best we're able to muster up is examples that aren't examples that you're looking for I think you can safely assume the number of actual studios bought out that had a great relationship with the buyer is pretty small. Another I can think of was condor, or "blizzard north" they got up to… -
Re: Company Acquisition
Yeah yeah totaly. But this isn't really what I was looking for :/ . I know some of the people involved and most of that stuff is, yes, mod teams. Its different. No CEO is bought out. There isn't a "sold-1m-copies" IP involved. Its a decent example, but I think you voided it by one word "fold" They were brought into the… -
Re: Company Acquisition
I did not define success. Infact I said I was open to interpretation. I would like you to quote where I implied success as "happy happy joy joy". The first example I gave was ROI if you read back.. as an interpretation of success. ROI is return on investment. Meaning you get more money back than what you put in. Doc Rob. I… -
Re: Company Acquisition
MS buying Bungie? That worked out pretty well. I can't think of may more good examples.
