@ICRainbow Yeah not sure how this was ruled, but afaik they haven't continued. Last seems to be that Private Division was sold to an unknown buyer, including the KSP IP

@Mqrius Seems to be a private equity firm who's intending to sell it on, if I'm reading this correctly.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-07/ex-annapurna-video-game-staff-to-absorb-former-take-two-label-private-division

In November, Take-Two said it had sold Private Division for an undisclosed price. The unnamed buyer, according to the people who asked not to be identified discussing nonpublic information, was Haveli Investments, a private equity firm based in Austin.

...

In recent weeks, according to the people familiar, Haveli struck a deal with the ex-Annapurna staffers to fund the new company and place them in charge of distributing the former Private Division titles, including Tales of the Shire, out March 25, a farming game based on The Lord of the Rings. They will also take over the popular Kerbal Space Program series as well as an unannounced title from Game Freak, the developer and co-owner of the Pokémon franchise.
