Amazon's Fallout TV show has — a few minor controversies aside — been a hit with fans since arriving last week; but while the show has covered plenty of the video games' post-apocalyptic basics — from Pip-Boys and Power Armour to Vaults and Vault-Tec — not everything made the cut, and its creators have now explained they deliberately held back some «iconic» stuff, including Deathclaws, to better do them justice in a potential Season 2.
Thunderful is selling Headup for $538.9k
29.03.2024 - 10:05 / pcgamesinsider.biz
European games firm Thunderful is selling Headup for €500,000 ($538,937).
The company is being acquired by Microcuts Holding, a venture that is actually owned and controlled by Headup's initial founder and current CEO, Dieter Schoeller. As well as that €500,000 initial purchase price, Thunderful will pay out €457k ($492.6 million) upon closure of the transaction. That is from the €1.87 billion ($2 billion) of existing payouts that the games giant owed Headup.
Thunderful acquired Headup for €11 million ($11.86 million) back in 2021. If you're curious, the company is being sold for 95% of its original sale price, which is, well, interesting.
The sale includes Headup's back catalogue, as well as five games that it has in the pipeline. The company will be giving €300,000 ($323.4k) to Thunderful as part of a revenue share in one un-released game.
Studio Fizbin is being transferred to Thunderful, too. The company was acquired in 2023 and was part of Headup's vertical at Thunderful.

Fallout TV creators saved “iconic elements” for season 2 so it doesn’t feel like they just skimmed Wikipedia
If you've been narked about favourite bits of Fallout not yet appearing in Amazon Prime's unexpectedly good live-action show, hold your horses. In an interview, the showrunners have talked about holding back certain "iconic elements" to do them in a hypothetical second season right rather than cram in all the greatest hits—and also so the show didn't "seem like it was written by people who just like spent 10 seconds reading the Wikipedia page for Fallout and didn't bother to like bring in some deeper cuts."
