. The impact of this move by Microsoft cannot be understated - had it not been for smash hit Nier: Automata, which released just a few months later, Platinum Games would have faced financial bankruptcy.
That is not a fact. That's what the author made up with zero facts to back it up.
Microsoft did not fund Scalebound and the game was 4 years in development with Platinums money when the plug was pulled. On top of the fact they aren't allowed to shop the game to another publisher because it's Xbox exclusive. It was a crushing to them financially.
No. Microsoft owns the IP. They foot the bill 100% for whatever was completed. Otherwise they would have no say in what happened to the game.
It saved the company because literally EVERY game they have EVER dropped flopped commercially. Vanquish, Bayonetta, transformers, avatar, all fukking flopped.Their next game nier as the head of platinum states saved the company....
Kamiya tweeted: "NieR's success has to this point given Platinum a new fanbase, a growing staff, a brilliant success story, an increase in qualified job applicants, and a great benefit.
"Normally, I can't help but do everything by myself... it's a pitiful story, but to say that Yoko-san saved Platinum would not be an exaggeration. I cannot thank him enough."
Sorry pal. Microsoft tried to catch another body and failed.
@MeachTheMonster out here claiming souls.
Thank you Bill Gates. 
Never said it "saved" them.Oh shyt so Scalebound was the one that actually saved the company.
Would you listen to this bullshyt.
The fukk. You retarded breh.Oh and apparently both Vanquish and Bayonetta flopped.
Bayonetta Breaks A Million Units Sold - Siliconera
Vanquish Boosts Past 800,000 Sold, Sonic Colors Sells Over Double That Number - Siliconera
Microsoft mismanaged the title trying to add features that Platinum probably had no intention of implementing like Online multiplayer. Microsofts demands caused them to bite off more then they could chew and they got cancelled along with a bunch of other games and studios microsoft was closing. Deading game after game after studio after studio.No. Microsoft owns the IP. They foot the bill 100% for whatever was completed. Otherwise they would have no say in what happened to the game.
How the hell they pull the plug if they didn't pay for anything?

Scalebound helped them pay their bills until Nier came out.
Online multiplayer was in the game from day one. They agreed to make the game day one.
seem to have great relationships with everyone else. Yet, microsoft is the elephant in the room with so may developers and the demands of people who dont know shyt about gaming. Entire existence is a fluke of ps3 not being released firstOnline multiplayer was in the game from day one. They agreed to make the game day one.
Regardless of any of that they were paid for their work and your thread is trash
Platinum never said they had a bad relationship with Microsoft.
