I just had an odd thought...
X-Box has an exclusive contract to the next few games made by OWI.
That will restrict sales, since it can only be on X-Box.
But what if OWI dissolves?
If the company is gone, and the contract declared void, what's to stop the team getting back together (all be it under a new name) and makeing non-oddworld games that fit the previous ideas for Hand of Odd, or any other game.
Of course, Abe, Munch, Stranger... and every other trademark would be gone, but the core of the games (the game-play, graphics, concepts) would still be there.
Could this all be a master-plan to become dyverse on the 3 consols and PC?
