Square Enix acquired 20% of Bulkhead Interactive studio
Good news for those considering working with Square Enix Collective. The Japanese, it turns out, are ready to acquire those teams that were previously helped with the publication and promotion.
Bulkhead Interactive previously released two projects together with Square Enix — The Turing Test and Battalion 1944. Moreover, the first one was launched precisely within the framework of Collective. Both sold more than 200 thousand copies.
Now it is known that the Japanese giant has acquired a stake in the company. He bought a 20% stake from the studio, which has offices in the UK and Germany. Apparently, Square Enix believes in the success of Bulkhead Interactive, which is currently developing an as yet unannounced shooter.
The Turing TestDeca Games has acquired the Finnish Zombie Catchers game
Soon there may be more cases. Deca Games acquired a mix of platformer and time manager Zombie Catchers from the Finnish team Two men and a dog for an unspecified amount.
The project was released in November 2014. Since then, he has scored, according to official data, 55 million downloads. However, it never became a box office hit. According to DataMagic, since August 2016, he has reached a plateau of $50,000 per month. And it is still there.

Players Skip Rainbow Six Siege on Steam Due to Censorship
Recently, the gaming community has been raging. Ubisoft also got it. Gamers massively reduce the rating of her Rainbow Six Siege game on Steam. Because of this, the rating of the game in just a few days fell from “positive” (around 70%) to “mixed” (now — up to 52%).
The reason for the indignation is Ubisoft’s plans to change some elements of the project so that it can pass censorship in China. We are talking about edits in the interface (for example, removing the image of skulls) and decorations on the levels.
After the announcement of the change, users rushed to accuse Ubisoft of greed and support for the “fascist regime of China”.
