Take Two is the owner of 2K Games. Take Two has a USD 12.4 billion market cap. Take Two refers to 2K as a principal office. Quite the endavour for your friendly agent. Best bet would be to found a startup that greatly enhances revenue on old games by, say, automatically remastering them and them pitching to Take Two. You can't clever your way around 12 billion.
Another thought: firms this size usually have their own M&A-team. Obviously you could buy the IP at an offer they can't refuse (but you probably couldn't Kickstart). Might sound snarky but there doesn't seem to be a market for old IP in games, which suggests they will not take your idea serious for 'normal' market value. That might be pretty economic. Big game producers need people playing new games, not having too much fun with (better) games from the old days. The hedonistic threadmill is what makes their firm the current size. Don't distort that balance by opening up the retro market.
- paradoxparalax 8y agoI see. Thanks. So they kill it, cut out it's head and bury on a salt desert so people will forget it exists and buy their new game instead. Still feels that something isn't quite right in this being the only reason, it's strange. But yeah, you are right, would need to call more than one friend to get 6B USD just for fun money, to risk on the game industry because of a personal caprice :D Your ideas were better, thanks.
- Ralfp 8y agoAlso in stupid „triple AAA” economy publishers consider tactic games too niche to be viable product. They would try to turn it into mobile game or such.
- a_t48 8y agoThey are big enough that they don't care unless you offer them _a lot_ of money or you know just the right people to talk to and have the correct connections.
