Is this the same company that fired and got rid of the director for their most renowned video game titles because they'd rather prioritize microtransaction mobile games than actual video games? And do it with so much shade and disrespect instead of just going their separate ways respectfully including not allowing the director to receive his award for game of year and actively removing his name from the game

Actually TMNT and The Simpsons have both recently been remade by Arcade1Up. Just don't go looking to pay $5 for them.
