I mean. The founder asked for it. After the first game, the studio made millions; they can totally self-publish without an answer to others. However, the founder sold the company for $500 million in 2021. And additional $250 million based on milestones (which they won’t get).
Is everybody in this story greedy? Yes.
Will I sell my company for $500 million given the opportunity? Yes. But I probably take the money start a new game studio and take the original devs with me.

Wow, sounds like one of those games that you should absolutely pirate instead of buying.
