Berger on TT Games acquisition, future plans |
Ó
After acquiring Traveler's Tales Games, Warner Bros. expressed their intent on keeping the studio intact, without any changes or restructuring aside from the studio acquisition. Said Josh Berger, Warner Bros. UK president,"It's definitely going to be kept as it is for now. We went up there a couple of days ago, saw everybody and welcomed them to the Warner family, and told them quite clearly that they've got a good formula for great success, and we're not ones for going in and changing all that around."
Aside from keeping their happy employees intact, Berger also said that Traveler's Tales is already working on new games, but did not supply any details about the said titles.
When asked why they decided to strike a deal with Traveler's Tales, Berger mentioned the game studio's merits and achievements, particularly their success in the Lego video game franchise. "I think it was one of their crowning achievements, no question," he said.

the lure of big bucks in the gaming industry is the impetus behind buying up smaller companies by the bigger corporations. Whilst this is sometimes good it will in effect bring about a situation where the future of gaming maybe controlled by an elite few. This would inhibit innovation and lead to stagnation. Smaller highly dedicated developer teams in my opinion need to formulate partnerships together based upon their needs and to create a buffer whereby the big corporations cannot just move in and buy them out. If this does not happen then I expect gaming to go down the same road as the rest of the entertainment industry. Control, decreased innovation and money as the bottom line. the release of games that offer the highest ROI instead of games that truly try to offer new experience.
