American-European developer and indie publisher TinyBuild announced today that they have acquired the developmental rights for several of Bossa Studios' IPs, namely Surgeon Simulator, I Am Fish, and I Am Bread. TinyBuild's stable of games currently includes Potion Craft, Hello Neighbor, Totally Reliable Delivery Service, and Graveyard Keeper.
The deal included a payment of $3 million from TinyBuild to Bossa, and comes in the wake of Bossa Studios deciding to pivot to making co-op PvE instead of goofy sim games.
"Together with TinyBuild, we found a path that allows Bossa to dedicate its full attention to its new projects, while ensuring Surgeon Simulator, I Am Bread and I Am Fish have a new home that understands what makes these games tick as well as we do."
- Henrique Olifers, Bossa Studios Co-Founder
TinyBuild have also acquired Konfa Games, a Russian studio with a specialist interest in resource management games, for $5.4 million. Their most recent release was Despotism 3K.

TinyBuild put out some really awful games.
For a well-known game like Surgeon Simulator, that seems like a steal.
I read the title as a cause-and-effect relationship and was very confused.
Cause: Tinybuild just paid $3m to own Surgeon Simulator
Effect: I am bread
Hello neighbor sucked, and so did it’s spin-offs, sooo can’t say I’m happy about this news, seeing as how I am bread and surgeon simulator are actually good game, 2s better then one in my opinion.
TinyBuild either make great games or terrible games. Im not sure why they wanted theses games so badly though.
@Pk-glitch I don't think the mods are gonna be very happy about some of the stuff written on the side of that carton, lol.
“ Tinybuild just paid $3m to own Surgeon Simulator”
That’s a pretty bad deal, I just had to pay $12.99.
I wish "I Am Fish" would release on Switch.

I hope you are enjoying your new life as bread.
These guys are so desperate to have the next big hit game among streamers and no one cares.
Low quality streamer bait games that only get sales because of said streamers having young audiences.
