Konsolidering lader til at være den nye tendens i spilbranchen, og det er ikke bare Microsoft og Sony der køber stort ind. Også andre virksomheder er begyndt at opkøbe studier med henblik på at styrke produktionen af interne projekter.
Eksempelvis kan Netflix nu afsløre, via en meddelelse, at de har købt studiet bag blandt andet Oxenfree, Night School Studios.
I samme meddelelse siger Sean Krankel fra Night School, at de vil fortsætte med at lave spil, og siger ikke at de eksklusivt vil arbejde på deres licenser.
"Over the last few months, we've had countless thoughtful chats about our respective visions for where we see games, storytelling, and our collective opportunity for positive impact somewhere in the middle. Night School wants to stretch our narrative and design aspirations across distinctive, original games with heart. Netflix gives film, TV, and now game makers an unprecedented canvas to create and deliver excellent entertainment to millions of people. Our explorations in narrative gameplay and Netflix's track record of supporting diverse storytellers was such a natural pairing. It felt like both teams came to this conclusion instinctively."
