They'd still have to start over from nothing after 7 years of development wouldn't they? I think Microsoft would still own the project even though it was cancelled.

What do you mean start over? Palworld is up and running and the team has plenty expertise in survival games. Microsoft got nothing to do with it. And of course I was partly joking because A) the logistics to find the team a proper office in the area as a small indie dev are close to impossible. B) Microsoft/Blizzard being the piece of shit companies that they are would claim the team uses work that belongs to MS even when they don‘t and give them a lawsuit and C) US employees are pretty expensive. A new division on another continent has huge benefits for game testing purposes, but there are cheaper places to do that.

I thought you meant the team working for blizzard developing the survival game that was cancelled and the team that was working on that. I misunderstood and now don't really know what you were talking about.
