In an interview with TenTonHammer, CCP North America|White Wolf President Mike Tinney explains why the merger between CCP and White Wolf has been a Win/Win arrangment for both.
With their like-minded vision for an approach to the World of Darkness MMO, along with the compatible corporate cultures and personalities between CCP and White Wolf, it just felt right for a collaborative effort. There were a number of parts to the merger that made it a good fit for both companies: geographic locations, areas of expertise that complimented the needs that the other half had, CCP was ready to add a second title to their studio, etc. We were talking with most of the major design studios and publishers in the field, and any one of them could have been a good partner for us, but these “crazy Icelanders” ended up being the perfect fit for us, and I believe us for them.
