Hytale co-founder wants to buy the IP because it's cheaper and easier than buying a whole company: "It's not like in the movies, it’s just a call and a purchase agreement"

Simon Collins-Laflamme, the original founder of Hypixel Studio, the team working on Minecraft-like Hytale after hosting its own Minecraft server for years, has an update about restarting the now-cancelled game. He's hoping to simply buy the IP outright, a process he believes will be simpler than trying to buy an entire company.

Hytale is a survival game that has been in development for 10 years and was sold to Riot in 2020. Collins-Laflamme has raised people's hopes, as he has been vocal about buying back the studio and getting the game into our hands.
