They were only publishers. Not developers. Only Oddworld inhabitants was the developers.

Q) Who will buy oddworld?
A) Just Add Water in this case!


Q) Can a publisher like Just Add Water buy the king?
A) It's like a fan uses $$$ to buy a country!


Hope i said it right.

cool thread

What will the company say about this topic?

Wil 02-05-2011 12:32 PM

I have no idea what you're trying to say here. Just Add Water has not "bought" Oddworld Inhabitants. Of all the companies you've listed, only GT Interactive have ever had a stakehold in OWI. If anything, the current publishing company is Valve.

Is Oddworld Inhabitants too expensive?

The current publishing company is Valve.

Q) What would happen if Just Add Water have money to buy Valve?
A) Half-Life 2 episode 3 will then not be 3D FPS! The next Half-Life games will be 2.5D! and same for counter strike, team fortress and portal in this case.

Paul 02-05-2011 01:27 PM

You missed out DD who did the PC ports, and whoever did the PC much port ;)

I can't write in another style.
We are all different, accept it.

"We are all different" is not a valid explanation for your atrocious treatment of the English language.

For the record:
  • GT Interactive, Microsoft, and EA were all publishers, not developers.
  • Oddworld Inhabitants were the developers of Abe's Oddysee, Munch's Oddysee and Stranger's Wrath. They created them, not the other companies you mentioned.
  • Nobody has bought or is buying Oddworld Inhabitants. GT Interactive originally had a share of the company, but since then OWI has been independent.
  • Just Add Water does not own Oddworld Inhabitants, they are working for them to produce several projects. They have not bought OWI.
  • Just Add Water is not a publisher, they are a developer.
  • Nobody is ever going to buy Valve, especially not JAW or OWI.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

No, they're just the distributor, like EB games or any other store. I believe OWI now qualify as self-published.

Paul 02-05-2011 05:58 PM

And Digital Dialect and whoever did PC munch should be in the devs list ;)

Clannfear 02-06-2011 02:39 AM

So Novaman, your point is - Owi is deevolving?

...

Strange thread, and man who created it.

MeechMunchie 02-06-2011 02:52 AM

Can someone close this, please?

Crashpunk 02-06-2011 03:45 AM

NovaMan 02-06-2011 03:51 AM

Please close this thread now!


Thanks in advance!

Wil 02-06-2011 04:24 AM

It was just a question. Not too dangerous as you might think it to be.

MA 02-07-2011 11:22 AM

questions are dangerous. questions explode.

Phylum 02-07-2011 09:56 PM
