MS' Next Acquisition May Be Bigger Than Bethesda

[itsyoung!!]

Capcom is considerably worth more than Zenimax is/was

Skyrim by itself has sold more than all of the street fighter games in history combined

That has nothing to do with the respective market caps of Capcom & Zenimax.

You’re giving big Courtdog energy doubling down on an objectively incorrect statement

Microsoft will definitely be acquiring some more studios. So no real surprise there.

I can't see the Sega thing happening. If it didn't happen right after the DC, then it ain't happening now.

Very complicated back then, Sega had their had a lot of PPE, the Okawa donation, and probably in talks with Sammy. Now with COVID pachislot business has gone to shyt and they have been selling off PPE like the buildings in Akiba.

If M$ can not fukk it up and help bring Sega back to its former glory I’m for it. Hell just putting the Arcade, Saturn, & Dreamcast library on GP is a huge blow for Sony.

Wtf has that got to do with anything.

Besides sega whos a big enough company that would make an impact? Cant see it being Ubisoft or EA. Doubt it would be Take 2. I think capcom is unlikely too.

They need to be patient and build organically. They bought Ninja Theory for eg and had them rush out a half baked Bleeding Edge, instantly dimming brand value and customer goodwill.

At this point, when Nintendo or a Sony 1st Party studio release a game there’s a high threshold of quality expected from consumers which they both mostly meet consistently.

MS with their deep pockets can’t bulldoze your way to #1, you need to build a culture and that might take at least 5yrs+ to bear fruit otherwise you end up with your #1 (Halo) franchise looking the way it does

Ok???

Furthermore, damn near every company in gaming had their biggest year

 

[ORDER_66]

Man I thought this was a serious update and Ms brought someone else?!?

You spent all day in that $600 stimulus thread waiting for it to hit your account, now you know your broke ass has no business talking about video games

I think NT was already working on bleeding edge before they got bought

y'all realize M$ bought bugthesda and still got dominated because they had no exclusives on release
