Official Sega Has Sold Amplitude (Mankind Dev)

[Absalon]

“SEGA Europe has today announced the sale of Amplitude Studios following a management buyout from senior leaders and employees at the Parisian studio. The move will see Amplitude go back to its roots as an independent organisation and concludes the structural reforms that have been taking place in SEGA’s European business.

Amplitude studio director Romain de Waubert de Genlis added: “Amplitude is backed by strong, meaningful franchises, and our team is committed to creating the best games possible,” said. “This decision allows us to be more agile in our approach while continuing to shape the vision that we’ve had from the beginning, empowering us to push boundaries and be closer than ever to our community.”

Interesting. Big publishers releasing studios back into the wild seems to become a bit of a trend lately.

I've seen Bungie and IOI jump around publishers and go independent and all the anti-consumer stuff stuck around each time. Leaving SEGA would probably change nothing and potentially make things worse.

Around 180 vs 882 employees, with franchises in another league. Asking the question is kind of answering it.

I havent really seen any indicators that Sega ownership hurts CA.
