Activision buys Vicarious Visions

Posted on Friday, 21 January 2005 by Speed, source: 3DNewz
It seems that working for Activision as an independent developer is rather dangerous. After Call of Duty was released and became a hit, Activision acquired the developers, Infinity Ward.

Now, Vicarious Visions are working on the XBox version of Doom 3 and the same things happens over again. 3DNewz has word that Activision has bought the developer...

Strengthening its next-generation development capabilities, Activision, Inc. today announced that it has acquired game developer Vicarious Visions, the creative studio behind the #1 best-selling third-party Nintendo® DS title, Spider-Man 2TM. Vicarious Visions' proven proprietary AlchemyTM middleware technology and tools will be combined with Activision's next-generation tools and libraries to further enhance the company's overall development efforts.

The acquisition underscores Activision's strategy to continue building its technical infrastructure in order to take full advantage of the high-growth potential of the next-generation hardware platforms by acquiring technical and design talent with a history of high-quality product creation, while over time enhancing the company's financial operating model.

Previously, Vicarious Visions have worked on Shrek 2, Shark Tale, Tony Hawk's Underground 2 and Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro, also for Activision. So, if we look at the evidence, a developer is safe just up to the moment he puts his hands on a first person shooter. From that moment on the eye of Activision will be upon him ;)

(except for ID Software of course, but those guys probably have enough cash)
