I agree with Abe16, cuz in a interview with lorne they talk 'bout why OI changing their style from games to movies. It's jus one of the reasons I guess, but take a look yerself. (I jus copied this from the site a while ago so a can't remember the name of the site, sorry)
my thought is; if it doesn't go well with the movie/movies then i think Lorne Lanning and co will continue making Oddworld-games. anyway if they're goin ta be a movie about oddworld then we're pretty lucky, but if the movies not 'bout Oddworld and they're doing great, for the company i guess then we could say Oddworld's dead...
