PlatinumGames PlatinumGames Inc. (プラチナゲームズ株式会社 , Purachina Gēmuzu Kabushiki Gaisha ) is a Japanese video game development company. The company was founded in October 2007, as result of the merger between Seeds Inc. and Odd Inc. The following year, video game publisher Sega announced that it would be publishing four unique properties developed by the company, which included "MadWorld", "Infinite Space", "Bayonetta", and "Vanquish". Their partnership later extended to include "Anarchy Reigns". However, none of these were a commercial success, even though most of them received high critical praise.
