>[CEO of Krafton]Kim told [Game Developer](https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/-we-don-t-think-hi-fi-rush-2-is-going-to-make-us-money-krafton-ceo-says-tango-gameworks-acquisition-is-about-legacy) that Krafton swooped in to save the studio after Xbox announced its closure because **it cares about legacy and allowing creativity to flourish in the video game industry**. This comes despite Tango Gameworks, developer of The Evil Within and Ghostwire: Tokyo alongside Hi-Fi Rush, not having “big success” with its games.
