Congrats on 15y to PlatinumGames!...but "create games that delight and surprise"? Isn't this just an innate characteristic of game dev studios? I rlly don't know what else they'd be doing if not this lol.

About 3 weeks ago, a few news articles released saying how they might shut down due to some bad game, or sales, or key staff leaving, can't remember which. This statement is obviously just to reassure investors and fans.
