If they were acquired by Microsoft, how would they even be able to properly manage so many studios? Microsoft had trouble managing when they had like 5 studios.

Just get that 60 frames update for Origins out for the series X first, after that, dont care

Further consolidation is bad. We already have too much. Pay for exclusivity and let the devs/pubs remain independent.


I don't really play any Ubisoft games, so it won't affect me either way.

I don't know how this would work and not be a huge mess. There are over 50 offices, 18,000 people and many of their projects are in in poor shape.

I watched a clip of him today
he said the worst thing we (engineers) can do is struggle to optimise something that should not exist, ergo Ubisoft and the mess it has made should not even exist

Tell that to the auto wipers in my model 3 that use the cameras to detect rain instead of an integral rain sensor

I'm fine with anyone buying ubisoft. I'd be fine with anyone buying EA as well. It's not like they make good games, lol.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

Rogue is on PS4 now, or did you mean you're not a fan of playing a game originally for a previous generation?

If a game passes like 2 or 3 years max, that's an old game. In my gaming book, playing that is blasphemy.

I'm almost sure Microsoft could buy Ubi and still not be in danger of a monopoly. In fact, they'd probably still be number #3 behind Sony. The only IP I care for when it comes to Ubisoft is Splinter Cell. Damn the rest

 

[nominedomine]

Everything is for sale if the price is right

If everything is for sale where can I buy Knack 3?

The second thing, it was actually a fake meltdown, i just said that to be banned.

they cant. i can expect some drama in the future.

 

[teezzy]

All this talk about acquisitions just put out some decent games for once. The only thing my Series X has been good for is playing Dreamcast.

And playing with teezzy

 

[bronk]

And playing with teezzy

Yea golf with friends is pretty based lol

 

[Limba]

Looks like it's CD Projekt that's Sony is acquiring

 

[Faust]

Let's try to keep all rumored requisition posts/threads here, please. Confirmed requisitions and mergers are fine to have their own threads.

SQUARE ENIX WOULD BE OPEN TO JOINT VENTURES OR EVEN MINORITY STAKE IN ITS OWN STUDIO BECAUSE OF RISING DEVELOPMENT COSTS

Yeah, SE mentioned this a couple months or so ago. It's still interesting though. Like, are they only open to joint ventures and minority stakes? Full acquisition off the table? Wonder if Sony or Tencent invest something similar to what they did with Fromsoft
