Saber got the contract to develop Halo Anniversary because its CEO ‘offered to do it for free’ | VGC
And an Xbox contract mistake led to a huge royalty payment…
You're viewing a single thread.
And then Microsoft screwed them out of royalties, according to the article. I feel like they should have included that in the title.
But then if I'm understanding correctly saber then Got them back. Right I could just be misreading/not understanding
It sounds like they didn't, but apparently Microsoft forgot to put together a contract for further work they were doing for the Master Chief Collection, so they were able to hold the MCC port of Halo Anniversary hostage contingent on Microsoft removing the clauses that had blocked royalties in their original contract. So they did get royalties for that port that amounted to tens of millions of dollars, but nothing for their original work.
Ah gotcha thanks lol
