Behaviour Interactive (Dead By Daylight devs) acquire Red Hook Studios (Darkest Dungeon devs)

No idea what to make of this. Feels really random, but I guess we knew that Darkest Dungeon 2 didn't do as well as they wanted it to.

Maybe it didn't do as well as they'd hoped, but back of the napkin guesstimates sure make it hard to believe DD2 wasn't profitable.
- I read it more like they did well, but after a decade making the same game in a couple of iterations, they just want to be done. So sell the company, make 10x what you could running it, and just head on out.
- I played it in alpha (?) when it first came out and it was alright. I played it for like 3 hours, but never felt a desire to revisit it.
  
  Darkest Dungeon was just one of them titles that isn't that suited for a sequel.
BHVR trying to acquire a catalog specifically catered to Otzdarva's tastes
- Please keep behavior far away from fromsoft thanks
  
  Fromsoft would be more likely acquiring them, so actually start pushing.
First thought that came to mind: "I have no idea what to make of this"
If they wanted DD2 to do better, why didn't they make it a better game?
