To be fair though, you can't really compare the two. OTM's job was to improve and develop Celtic Heroes.
And Virtual Realms was just stuck with the job of maintaining and supporting it when OTM was shut down. It wasn't so much a transfer - I'm pretty sure that VR did not necessarily want to take over CH, let alone continual development. They just got stuck with handling Support issues and dealing with major issues (like the Unity 2018 update last year).
VR bought out otm. Otm didn’t shut down.

Please stop spreading misinformation. This is not true.
The founder of Virtual Realms is the same founder of One Thumb Mobile. Celtic Heroes is managed by the same people.
