The more I see the more I like this remake, day 1 for sure. Bluepoint to work on Demons Souls remastered next please
Megaton rumor:
Microsoft looking to acquire EA, PubG corp or Valve.https://www.techspot.com/news/73009-microsoft-rumored-considering-acquisition-ea-valve-or-pubg.html
I really hope they don’t acquire Valve but I don’t really care for the other 2.
Buying EA? Is such a thing even possible? And please not Valve… PUBG I can see it
Buying EA? Is such a thing even possible?
Definitely. Disney acquired Fox so MS can purchase EA if they wanted to. It’s just not their style though because they tend to purchase smaller companies like Lionhead or Mojang. But to really improve their portfolio, I think they will need to buy someone like EA. Buying Valve would be dark times for PC gaming and gaming in general.

Merger seems possible but buying?
EA and Valve can still make more profit independently unless there is some solid deal
I’m happy for you, Capcom, but Dragonball FighterZ is the best fighting game I’ve played in ages. At least, until I play SNK Heroines. So visually engaging and easy to learn.
This can be disruptive if gains any traction

Rime and Knack free psn+ feb offers
Very tricky, i buy some game on sale, and PSN+ offers as free later
But good for those who havent played it
MvCi is around 44$ for full edition now with all DLCs, Venom to BPanther, also scored 1 million sales

It is not unheard of. Microsoft has 728 billion market cap whereas EA has 39.24 billion so microsoft is about 20x EA. They can easily gobble it. The only question is if they care enough to do so. So far, it doesn’t seem like their style to acquire big companies so we’ll see.

But buying might mean making XBOX/PC exclusives out of Fifa/Battlefield and that would devalue a lot those properties. I think it would make more sense to buy Respawn or Bioware like they did Rare.
Or maybe the big properties would remain multiplatform like Minecraft

Bomba, along with SF5 at 2 million. Good think RE7 and specially MHW are making bank
In less than a year Switch already outsold WiiU lifetime sales. Switch is a big success but this is more telling of how bad the WiiU flopped

The article which posted rumors said MS is doing out of desperation , they need portfolio , quick however there are still issues, and cosequences like Making Rare a joke and killing Lionhead
They need to nurture Studios and IP like ND,GG and SP etc
But actually doing it is a much more complex thing. It usually comes down to who the board members are and what’s going on in their lives. Are there people on the board looking to ditch their shares? Or are they happy as they are? That’s what either facilitates or prevents these things from happening.”
You know like Vivendi is stopped by Yves(ubi)
Similarly sometimes some individuals see more career and monetary growth for themselves

SFV is on profit spike, S2 numbers were above 2.5 digital and after AE things will reach 3million+
Both DBZ,Tekken7 had higher budget, Bamco puts alot even DS3 budget was higher than Bloodborne

Reggie said how ninty makes hardware for longer time and value, he mentioned 3ds seven years of worth and content forgot wiiu , true snakeoilsalesman
Wiiu was gen without Zelda and Metroid proper, dropping at end of life doesnt mean much
Switch benefited from that delay, and i think considering that Metroid will be far ahead in development
Meanwhile in world of GaS
Edit
So many people playing MH, so many new friends from communities
Seems like Destiny crowd hungry for armors and farming have found a new fad
Hope it continues for Capcoms sake

The games-as-a-service model is becoming increasingly popular in games today, and now Nintendo has said it is interested in this as well. Speaking today during an earnings presentation, Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima said Nintendo is planning to release “even more” DLC for its games, and hold more in-game events, to keep players coming back.
