In a major shake-up for the gaming industry, Montreal-based developer Compulsion Games has officially regained its independence.
在遊戲產業的一項重大重組中，位於蒙特婁的開發商 Compulsion Games 已正式重獲獨立。
Following a management buyout from Xbox in August 2026, the studio is moving away from its parent company after being acquired by Microsoft in 2018.
繼 2026 年 8 月從 Xbox 進行管理層收購後，該工作室在 2018 年被微軟收購後，如今正脫離其母公司。
This decision was largely driven by a massive corporate restructuring at Xbox, which saw significant staff reductions and the divestment of several studios.
這項決定主要是受 Xbox 大規模企業重組所驅動，該重組導致了大幅度的人員裁減及多個工作室的拆分。
CEO Guillaume Provost led the buyout to prevent the team from being disbanded, a move he described as a gracious separation supported by Microsoft.
執行長 Guillaume Provost 領導了此次收購，旨在防止團隊解散，他將此舉描述為微軟所支持的一場得體分離。
As an independent entity, Compulsion Games now retains full ownership of its notable titles, such as We Happy Few and South of Midnight.
作為一個獨立實體，Compulsion Games 現已完全保有其知名遊戲的所有權，例如《We Happy Few》和《South of Midnight》。
As part of a broader 'Xbox reset' that has seen other studios return to independence, Compulsion Games is now navigating its future with optimism, prioritizing team unity and the development of new projects in an increasingly competitive market.
作為更廣泛的「Xbox 重啟」計畫的一部分，該計畫已見證了其他工作室重獲獨立，Compulsion Games 現正以樂觀態度導航其未來，在競爭日益激烈的市場中優先考慮團隊凝聚力與新項目的開發。
