GN writes: "Original players paid $60 for Control, plus another $30 for a season pass. Original fans of the franchise have coughed up $90 for the same content that new fans will now be getting with a $40 purchase – but those original fans won’t get the next-gen upgrade."
Alan Wake 2 studio Remedy Entertainment has reclaimed the rights to Control, and now sci-fi hit Quantum Break deserves the same treatment.
Totally agree with that especially when Quantum Break has several references to Alan Wake and Alan Wake make allusions to QB.
I do believe that MS and Remedy can work things out and MS has usually been nice to devs and publishers regarding IP.
Reclaim? That would mean that they actually owned the ip at one point, which they never did (MS always has). Apples & oranges. Remedy always owned the Control ip (just not the publishing), as they have with Alan Wake.
About as likely as them getting the Max Payne rights from Rockstar.
Sending you game to a publisher does not mean they get "rights to own it " unless that was part of the contract (monetary/ strategic reasons). 505 was the publisher they worked with to publish and distribute it, it dos not mean that 505 flat out "owned" anything, clearly they did have a special arrangement that made them open to limit their publishing rights. and so here we are and big whoop
Yeah get Quantum Break PS5, only if you put it on disc with all the associated movie material.
I mean they got the Alan Wake IP back from MS, so I feel like they could get QB back as well
Remedy Entertainment has announced that they've purchased the full rights to the Control franchise from 505 Games.
Alan Wake 2 developer Remedy Entertainment is setting its sights on what appears to be a new Control game as a fresh trademark emerges.
.
Just another example of gamers expecting everything for free just because they bought the game once.
This is very lame from Remedy!
***However, it must be acknowledged that Control runs like hot garbage on current consoles***
Runs perfectly fine for me on PS4...

I agree with the sentiment that it's crap business to not auto-upgrade every version of the game. I'm assuming some backlash will fix that and the PR response will be "it was a communication error, we always intended to upgrade every version of the game."
Come on Remedy...
