They are partnering with Delphi Interactive, which I hadn't heard of, though they are some partner with IO on the new 007 game.

> Delphi builds AAA games based on the most desirable IP franchises in the world. Delphi has pioneered a proven model to de-risk titles, reduce development costs, and create unprecedented alignment between IP owners, creatives, and developers.

I assume they are some kind of broker between IP and dev studios, though the PR implies they are developing it. The corporate slop tagline isn't encouraging but we'll see.

Nowadays, the shareholders just talk to each other in these press releases, knowing the customer can't do squat about it. You'll get de-risked, unprecedented alignment and you'll like it too!

It does feel like the customers are just the people whose pockets will be picked out of. Do marketing, people pay, they get nothing that was promised, plenty of complaints, company sends standard "We apologize if your expectations were not met, but get fucked.", profit!

And then people will still pay them because they have a monopoly. E.g. with Office^W Copilot 365, Windows, Facebook, etc.

Their model is already proven before they've delivered a single title, what a time to be alive.

Corporate slop! You think titles can just de-risk themselves?

I know, right?!

I don't know about other HN readers but some of us wake up in the morning and can't wait to create unprecedented alignment between IP owners, creatives, and developers.
