Compulsion Games, spun off from Xbox last week, is publicly seeking business partners and collaboration opportunities across games and entertainment. The studio behind South of Midnight—which won a BAFTA, Peabody Award, and seven Canadian Game Awards—emphasized its creative and technical expertise in an open letter. Compulsion regained full ownership of its IP as part of Xbox's restructuring, which also cut 1,600 jobs and spun off Double Fine, Ninja Theory, and Undead Labs.
