Is this one of those stupid wednesday shitposts thing? Sound lame as fuck.

This is what happens when you allow non gamers to write your video copy.

This doesn't necessarily mean anything, but there is nothing on the Bloomberg terminal service itself, and the news article there that links to this interview has no additional context other than just a link to it.

Lol, basically the expensive Bloomberg news service itself has not said that Microsoft is buying Sega. So if there has been a deal and they know about it they are intentionally not reporting on it.

This for sure needed a thread.

 

[BennyBlanco]

there is no way they buy another publisher before Activision is approved

It's def a leak. Wednesdayton. Microsoft finally buying Sega. Also, I just took this screenshot:

All Xbox exclusives coming to Playstation? Leak or accident?

01: There's no way they buy another publisher, especially one as big as SEGA, begore the Activision deal goes through.

02: Those deals simply don't leak like that. Spreading or benefiting from this kind of privileged information over publicly traded companies can literally put whomever is responsible in jail.

Hope it happens for the drama. Love when the video game industry goes full reality tv.

I mean today is Wednesday lol

People really underestimate this. It's notable that all of the "leaked" acquisitions (Microsoft buying Sega, Sony buying Square) haven't materialized, and all the *actual* major acquisitions (Bethesda, Activision, Bungie) haven't leaked. The stakes in terms of potential penalties and fines are just too high for truly informed stakeholders to fuck around.

 

[Tams]

OP can't even get the video timestamp correct. I think we call this thread dead already.

 

[Fess]

If it is happening it's not happening this way.
But it isn't happening. It's more likely that Sony buy SEGA considering it's a japanese company.

I'd say the video editor googled GAF and stumbled into some rumour thread and used that as source to what Microsoft owns.

[Skifi28]

It should also be said that I didn't see any Microsoft executives denying a Sega acquisition today, therefore the only logical conclusion is that it's actually happening.

Just a goof up in the article. Wouldn't put it past Phil to try though, being the anti competitive cunt he is.
