Microsoft Execs Thought They Owned Donkey Kong IP After Purchasing Rare
Chris Seavor, former Rare employee and Director of Conker’s Bad Fur Day, was on Twitter talking about Microsoft and their purchase of Rare from Nintendo. It seems as if the Microsoft executives sent to check out their spoils were under the impression that they owned the Donkey Kong franchise as part of the Rare acquisition.
@IOnEI_Falcon Here’s a true story.. When Rare was first bought by MS a group of execs came on a tour.. One of them noticed the Donkey Kong.
