Acclaim Game Franchises Bought By Throwback 17

I can't even imagine what their plans are for these properties, but then, I also can't imagine who came up with the fantastic idea to buy up an anthropomorphic mascot character who couldn't compete with Bubsy, a shoddy Wipeout clone and a terrible beach volleyball game whose actual volleyball aspect couldn't even compete with a game whose sole purpose was to make 14 year [amazon.com]
