        A really good get for MS I must admit. One of the shockers of the MS E3 also.

    Brainless Microsoft executives have bought out the makers of games not deserving of a second playthrough. Good move. You’ll kill each other off, thankfully.

        Those Sony games sell very well and do better than the brainless attempts by Microsoft.

    This was the ONE AND ONLY BIG announcement from that conference… I genuinely gasped… the rest of the conference was just ‘Good’, it wasn’t very good – excellent – great or amazing.. it was JUST good…. but honestly it just shows that the Xbox really is just the multiplat box tbh…

    lol Owners of Ninja Theory are either really stupid or just wanted a quick buyout. Nothing good will come out of this. If you looked at the history of studios acquired by Microsoft most have either been closed or had their projects cancelled because the suits didn’t think their game would be a system seller. The ones that are remaining are now pumping out mindless sequel after sequel.

    Only game developers who are dead inside work for a Microsoft owned studio. The smart ones like Bungie get the hell out while they still can.

    Still just buying and not creating your own studio MS….eh.
