    Xbox in Japan

    You can catch imagination if the consoles are lying on the shelves and nobody is buying them. So far there is nno indication that this happens.

    Xbox in Japan

    They are supply restricted but they are closing to OG Xbox level and potentially Xbox 360 slightly further down the road. If it is not renaissance, I don't know what it is then lol

    Summer Game Fest 2022

    Summer Game Fail. Pacing was atrocious. The beginning was good but it started to become worse with each next reveal. And one of the livestreamers mentioned that the interviews were becoming longer and longer after each reveal. Without interviews and ads, it could be a nice 30-40m show. But as...

    I think it will. Bungie is a special case there.

    Microsoft acquired Activision Blizzard King for $69 Billion on 2023-10-13

    Microsoft is pursuing the games with high engagement values. I am curious what was their logic was behind 2018-2019, but both Bethesda and ABK deal are about games with very long legs and high engament values. Everything else is secondary.

    Embracer Studio Acquisitions and Divestitures

    This basically owned by NRS. That's why I mentioned that NRS is the thing MS will be interested in 100%. Especially with MK IP. And like I mentioned before Microsoft did not bother with Tomb Raider and Deus Ex (though probably the reasons are more complex than that), why would they care for...

    Embracer Studio Acquisitions and Divestitures

    That's debatable as studios should want to work on those IPs first. A lot of Microsoft internal studios want to work on their own IPs. As Tim Schafer mentioned - "we are not the cover band". Not every studio is Insomniac who wants to work on Marvel's IP.

    Embracer Studio Acquisitions and Divestitures

    What do those studios offer without IP? TT was a good option before Microsoft went after ABK. Now TT is the best option for T2 as T2 got Lego license not so long ago. I can see Rocksteady if Batman IP attached to it (whether by license aggreement or something similar, we heard some rumors...

    Embracer Studio Acquisitions and Divestitures

    Are there though? I doubt Microsoft is interested in the whole WB (maybe NRS), T2 is too expensive and they wanted to have a foothold in Japan and aside Capcom, no one else there is really that worth it.

    Not necessary. We have to wait for SEC.

    I don't think it affects Microsoft acquisition that much. I am more curious about other rumors you mentioned some time ago...Maybe you are familiar with Sony acquisiton?

    Ubi seems open to buyout

    Won't entertain your here much, because there are so many articles and posts on forums (there was one brilliant one on Resetera too) regarding that. Won't be surprised that there are some youtube videos regarding that. (Of course I also has a personal bias that I never hide but I am always aware...

    Ubi seems open to buyout

    There is a limit to what Microsoft will allow to keep multiplatform. Microsoft is aware more than anybody else how important the exclusivity is. The existing games will be kept available but everything else will go to the platforms where Game Pass exists. Aside internal Sega issues, it is an...
