If it's "failed" they can write off the investment as a loss. They get a tax break as a result. Capitalism rewards innovation (in tax avoidance), after all.
Youre might be right right thats what theyre trying to doz but thats not how that works with complete games that have been released for ages. They're just being retarded.
More than likely they just want to shut down the entire publishing arm and going full scorched earth is the only way they seem to do things
If that were the case there would at least be some value in selling the division to another company. Perhaps by not selling it they can claim the division lost money, artificially reducing the tax burden on profits from divisions corporate management is more interested in.
Thats not really how tax breaks work though. Especially not corporate ones.
WHAT? THE FREE MARKET GIVES TAX BREAKS TO CORPOS WHEN THEY LOSE MONEY????? I DON'T KNOW WHAT I EXPECTED BUT I'M MAD
I don't know if I want to upvote or downvote this comment lol
