If you didn't know, Drillimation actually tried to acquire them once. This happened in 2005, when Drillimation reached out to Universal saying they would like to acquire Gingo for $45 million. When Gingo learned that Drillimation would be purchasing the studio, they had to discuss the deal in Japan in over four meetings.

Additionally, Drillimation wanted them to drop their film business and instead make video games instead, as Gingo Interactive was a Driller Engine developer. However, Gingo's CEO did not like the idea, and any chances of Drillimation acquiring them unfortunately died after 53% of voters voted "No" in an online poll.
