The videogame world is weird. Say you are a small buisness in a miner town making cast and hardened steel parts for mining equipment. If a big manufacturer comes around and offers to buy you out, your alternative to saying “yes” is them, opening up their own buisness and driving your sales into the ground with cheaper offers. But if Bethesda says to CD Project RED “Either you accept the acquisition or we are going to make better games.” CDPR can just say “Haha, good luck.”
Thats good! I assumed there would be a lot of various pressures in a situation like that, like resisting a starbucks takeover as a small cafe or something. It could also end up being the best choice for their employees too if the offer is generous, so I could imagine that being an issue as well
