![]() I’d expect something similar woth Otherside’s agreement, but it might also be the case that Otherside just simply doesn’t have the funds to dispute. They give examples but the specific circumstances are up to them. I mean even the PoE2 Fig stockholder doc is full of these “if this happens then that happens” type of stuff.įor example, the Fig Poe2 circular mentions that if revenue slows down significantly Fig can just cancel the revenue share agreement entirely. My main area of experience deals with royalty agreements, reinsurance deals and multi partnership real estate deals. License agreements I’ve worked on all have “if this happens then that happens” type of clauses. It’s entirely dependent on the agreement they signed. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like unless they have another published lined up they're probably toast. OtherSide have yet to publicly respond to these events, and I'm not sure they ever will. Notice the absence of an actual quote from the other party in there. Starbreeze holds publishing titles for “Psychonauts 2” and “Ten Crowns”. System Shock 3 is a fantastic title developed in cooperation with the industry legend Warren Spector and I am looking forward to seeing the game released”, said Mikael Nermark, acting CEO Starbreeze AB.Īs previously announced, Starbreeze will focus on its core business of games development and publishing. “I believe this is the best solution for us, although it is sad that we cannot complete the project with OtherSide. ![]() The title owner OtherSide Entertainment and Starbreeze have now reached an agreement whereby Starbreeze returns the publishing rights for the game to OtherSide and will be able to recoup the development costs. Starbreeze acquired the publishing rights for “System Shock 3” in 2017 and has since then partly financed the development of the game. Starbreeze expects to be fully reimbursed for costs the company has had in connection with development of the game. STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN (February 11, 2019) – Starbreeze and OtherSide Entertainment have mutually agreed to sell back the publishing rights to OtherSide Entertainment for “System Shock 3”. Not only have Starbreeze cancelled their arrangement with OtherSide, but they appear to be demanding all of their money back in exchange for returning the game's publishing rights. Yeah.for a while it looked like the System Shock 3 deal might actually survive all that, but today the inevitable happened. You know, the same Starbreeze that filed for administration and was raided by the authorities for insider trading back in December, following years of mismanagement. But no matter how bad Ascendant may have looked throughout its development, there'd always been reason to believe that OtherSide Austin's System Shock 3 would not suffer a similar fate, thanks to its seemingly ironclad $12M publishing arrangement with Swedish publisher Starbreeze Studios. A month after its release, OtherSide published a pathetic mea culpa, finally revealing that their original funding partner had bailed shortly after the game's Kickstarter in 2015 and they they'd spent most of its four and a half years of development spinning their wheels. The game reviewed horribly and has sold virtually zero copies. Underworld Ascendant's release back in November was just as disastrous as it appeared to be on launch day.
