Then on the official PlayStation blog, a few more details surrounding the purpose behind the acquisition were given. One of the primary reasons given by the company is that with the success of their PC ports, they wish their mobile titles to be “similarly additive.”
Savage Games Studios also made a statement on the official blog stating: “We made this deal because we believe that PlayStation Studios’ leadership respects our vision for how we can best operate and succeed, and because they too are not afraid to take chances”. They also stated that on top of “All of that, plus the ability to potentially tap into PlayStation’s amazing catalog of IP and the fact that we will benefit from the kind of support that only they can provide… The harder question to answer would be “why not?”
