I don’t see anything in this article hinting towards a whole company sale (unless you consider the mentioned mass releases a few months ago a sign to raise the company value for upcoming negitiations). Selling off a different IP will have little influence on GOW.

IMO this is the most interesting part of that article…

_"This transaction arrives a few months after 505 Games parent company [Digital Bros Group] laid off 30 percent of its staff to align with “the new competitive market.”_

It is a game called Control, Remedy is just taking full control of the IP by paying back the publisher. It has nothing to do with companies buying other companies. It’s basically just them paying off a loan.
