  • Thanks for explaining. I was not arguing the point that closures happen, just expanding on why it’s not easy for the studios to get back on their feet again as independents.

    There will likely be non-disclosure agreements, non-competes or simply IP rights to take into consideration if we want to argue why these studios can’t continue their work. In the end it comes down to legal stuff and money. The IP rights even for unreleased products very likely are with the parent corporation. The same goes for the codebase.

    So yeah. The studios are left with nothing, except a severance pay if they’re lucky.








  • That’s a bad take. Unless you get your knowledge purely from shady tutorials or have a fast track bootcamp education, it’s unlikely you never touch on security basics.

    I’m a software design undergrad and had to take IT Sec classes. Other profs also touched on how to safely handle dependencies and such.

    While IT Security is its own specialisation, blindly trusting source code others provide you with is something a good programmer shouldn’t do.

    If you need a metaphor: Just because a woodworker specialises in tables, doesn’t mean they can’t build a chair.

    Edit: Seems like my take is the bad one 😂
