Saber Interactive studio

Source I removed was basically a journalist making a claim that game was developed by supposedly St. Petersburg department of the Saber Interactive. However there are two arguments to consider:

1. There is no adequate proof neither of existense of such department as separate entity nor of whether development of the game per-se can be attributet specifically to it.

2. Even if there was some source for existence of department and it's activity - "developer" is defined legal term in the industry and developer of Space Marine 2 in every media and legal source is marked as "Saber interactive" including the website of company itself.

Thus I consider it unreasonable and confusing for people to mark "Saber St. Peterburg" as developer. Now - the information added by SpaceRefugee is better redirected to the develoment process category on the page of the game itself.

Sounds agreeable? Chugheister (talk) 15:08, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

There is no legal aspect here, no. If the studio is formally known by a separate name, it is appropriate to list it, and the article already does so several times. It is pretty much guaranteed to be a separate legal entity as well, since it operates in a different country from the parent.

As for the source, while I'm not sure whether the site is reliable, i states, quite clearly, that said studio was the lead developer of the game.

If you believe the naming is an error, you should discuss this on the article's talk page and with the user who added these names to have a better forum. IceWelder [✉] 18:34, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
