Does the closure of Ouka studios mean no patches or support?

[seph]

As per the title. Will this game likely not receive any patches for bugs or new features? Will SE find a different studio to support the game?

Nobody knows. I wait and see when the first patch drops. If any at all. SE is famous for leaving games unpatched and broken.

No they arent.

What I want to know, and why I immediately pumped the breaks on buying it when I heard studio was closed. I'll follow and see if it gets patched then I'll probably buy it

They patched FF14 so hard it became a new game.

There is likely another studio already working on the product. A switch 2 port is largely assumed to be in the works. Having that studio take over all support doesnt seem to much of a stretch.
But we wills see

The studio who made the game is closed. So they will be no support, no bug fix, nothing.

game should be a free download. if they ceased and nothign will be done it should be a free for all to grab.
£50 can kiss my butt, HARD PASS for a dead game on release, be better to have been cancelled from sales

Look at Nier Automata for PC.

I have read somewhere on reddit or youtube, that apparently, the studio which is closed is a support studio that worked along with the main square enix studio. I cant confirm that. But I would really like to be that way. I am playing the game on ps5 and it is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ great.

Sounds like something someone who steals free samples from Costco would say.

I know PlatinumGames is the developer for that one, is it their job or SE's in this case? Legitimately asking

[phadin]

SE has taken over official 'developer' status on the Steam page, so at the moment, they are responsible for any patching or bug fixes.

Well, it became new at any rate, calling it a game might be a stretch nowadays.

It is going to be closed. There's still a core team of devs assigned to it.

For the record, it was Netease that closed the studio. As for 'why' it was closed - netease is gonna netease. They're an awful, greedy company. For some reason people think the studio was owned by Square or some other company but no, it was Netease that owned them and fired them as part of their decision to close down a bunch of their Japanese studio holdings.

Square may have taken over development now that Ouka is gone but yea. There you go, mystery solved, they were closed because of Netease.
