Danske IO Interactive fandt på et tidspunkt sig selv på lidt gyngende grund. Deres lange samarbejde med Square Enix blev afsluttet, og de ledte med lys og løgte efter nye partnere.
Men i dag er der langt mere sikkerhed. De står på egne ben, og Hitman 3 er en stort økonomisk hit. Faktisk lader det til, at IO også ønsker at blive en udgiver inden alt for længe. I et interview med GamesIndustry siger CEO Hakan Abrak:
"This is something that's in motion, and it's very likely that IO will be publishing not only our own games, but other people's games in the future, as well. It was just a handful of years ago where this was unthinkable, where it was more just a few big publishers. Things are changing. That still works. I think the big publishers have a role to play going forward. I'll be open and say it's very likely IO will have one of our games published by someone else. That's very possible."
Tror du at det er en god beslutning?
