Cheering for a mega Corp to buy control of the market.
Pathetic. Will be great when MS decides they no longer want to sell their games on Steam.

*Microsoft buys some studios (which people constantly told me make shit games anyway)*
OMG they are the new Disney, new monopoly! consolidation! escalation! industry is doomed! soon there will be no games left!
Chill lads. Enjoy it and chill.

inky going hard at the slaent gaming thread, wow
By sy Go To PostDefend evil brehsNot even defending it, just conscious that all of these companies are out to fuck me equally.
The rumor is that Microsoft has two more acquisitions in the works, by the way.
This is apparently unrelated to an exclusive they signed from a Japanese developer.

Given Microsoft could’ve made these moves at any point in time since they entered the console business, what took them so long?
By inky Go To PostNot even defending it, just conscious that all of these companies are out to fuck me equally.compared to ms, sony is just a tiny japanese shop struggling to survive ;_;

Dead Woodward on the other hand...
By Daz Go To PostStudio acquisitions arent a bad thing.If they’re selling someone’s gonna buy it
Taking whole publishers though….
Better MS than Tencent or Activision
By sy Go To Postliterally trying to infect great nipponIf Japanese developers don't want to make games on Xbox, they'll just buy them and make them. No other choice.
The rumor about them signing some kind of Japanese exclusive has been kicking around of late and the only company that would make sense to me is JP Games since Tabata wants to make AAA games and there's not a lot of publishers to support that kind of venture.

fake
Buying publishers is better though, you don't mess with their ecosystem at all and its just business as usual.
By sy Go To Postbuy From and FORCE them to release Armored Core and Otogi
By Yurtlicious Go To PostBuying publishers is better though, you don't mess with their ecosystem at all and its just business as usual.The entire publishing arm of Bethesda is getting wiped next year lol.
Publisher aquisitions have the most collateral. Ms has no use for their staff
By Yurtlicious Go To PostBuying publishers is better though, you don't mess with their ecosystem at all and its just business as usual.Well, no, because a lot of people on Bethesda's publishing team are going to lose their jobs. After these Sony deals are done, Microsoft is going to be publishing their games.

Some studios? You aren’t paying attention. And sorry if I’m not impressed by the cheap fur this wolf is wearing.
By sy Go To PostThe entire publishing arm of Bethesda is getting wiped next year lol.Just wait until they shut down Tango and Arkane.

By sy Go To PostHappens occasionallyDo you know how to fix it
By Yurtlicious Go To Postsmokey what nowMicrosoft spelled it out yesterday. They're going to honor the Sony deals for Deathloop and Ghostwire and that it's for Bethesda publishing. Microsoft is the publisher now and they don't need all the redundancy.
I am also inclined to think that Microsoft won't have a ton of use for the Bethesda support offices, either. Bethesda Austin probably survives to keep working on Fallout 76, but their mobile teams? I don't know about that. A lot of people are going to lose their jobs.
I don't like the idea of a platform holder buying a big third party publisher but if I get more Dishonored out of it I can live with it.
By Pennywise Go To PostJust wait until they shut down Tango and Arkane.No way, they'll keep them open because they need content for Game Pass. Selling lots of copies doesn't matter as much as having people play it on their subscription. They need games the size of Prey and Evil Within to fill out the release calendar.
By Pennywise Go To PostJust wait until they shut down Tango and Arkane.Yeah I'm not hopeful.
Arkane Lyons only produces bombs, brilliant bombs
they're keeping the culture you guys
edit: yeah Tango might actually perish with Shinji stepping down from directing games. TEW2 was one of the worst games I've had the misfortune of playing last/this gen
I don’t know if they will close or what but they probably need to consolidate, restructure or something. 25+ developers seems like a lot to manage under one publishing arm. Especially one that has had its fair share of issues.
By cRrusheR Go To PostSome studios? You aren’t paying attention. And sorry if I’m not impressed by the cheap fur this wolf is wearing.Not really. They want to be Netflix and content is king, I get it.
So would Sony if they had the means. They are not lambs getting eaten here. They just kicked MS ass for the past... well, decades. I get that the status quo changing is sad and scary. I support Manchester Football Club. I know. (and it's far from a guarantee anyway).
By rodeoclown Go To PostNo way, they'll keep them open because they need content for Game Pass. Selling lots of copies doesn't matter as much as having people play it on their subscription. They need games the size of Prey and Evil Within to fill out the release calendar.For now. They'll look at the numbers either way, and two studios that were already a commercial letdown on 3 platforms, will not magically pull huge numbers. They're not gonna pour money into studios that won't attract engagement, at least in the long run.
Either way first Bethesda games on xbox consoles will be in 2022 at the earliest, which is kinda hilarious.
By Yurtlicious Go To Postthey're keeping the culture you guysThey can keep their culture the same way Microsoft's other acquisitions have, but they already shut down Double Fine's publishing team. That should be all the proof people need.
Starfield will come out on Xbox/PC published by Microsoft.
By reilo Go To PostPeople still get hyped about Fallout?Fallout 4 sold 13m day 1.
Fallout 76 it's hard not to think of it as anything but a humungous franchise
