Curious what you two are referring to but this appears to only be a distribution deal for international markets. I doubt Focus will have much control over anything with the game itself.
EDIT: Looked it up. I assume you mean the delisting stuff and IP battles? Yeah that is worrisome some of their legal fights with smaller indie devs. But they've also published some pretty acclaimed and bigger titles like World War Z and A Plague Tale: Innocence. Those sorts of battles are more common with smaller dev studios. I doubt Focus would want to get themselves engaged in any lawsuits with Disney, or that Disney would have a contract with them that isn't ironclad.
Yeah, that's my thinking. I came to know of it through their falling out with Frogwares over the
Sherlock Holmes titles, but there are other cases that have followed a similar pattern. That said, Frogwares is currently locked into an even bigger struggle with their next publisher, so maybe they're just none-too-savvy when it comes to stipulating legal terms.
I doubt it's going to affect
Aliens: Fireteam, but I also don't like a portion of my dollars going to shady organisations like that.
Yeah, I know, Disney...
