StingingVelvet: Their recent updates have a lot of people praising the game, believe it or not. I have zero interest because I dislike online play, but it seems to be turning people around ever so slowly.

sanscript: Still can't believe it. Must be the digital version of the Stochholm-syndrom.
Plenty of games did that exactly. Destiny 2 being the most recent high profile.
Warframe took what, 5 years to became a "big game"?

I probably sound like a broken record, but I hope Bethesda has time to sneak Skyrim, FO4 and Wolfie 2 onto here, even if they're only going to be up for like a few weeks.

It seems Microsoft aren't finished. They are at Tokyo Game Show and have ruled out any new studio announcement there. But some thing appears to be up between them and SEGA. One obvious possibility is SEGA using Game Pass as their surrogate rental platform. But they've been regulars on the service anyway. So not sure about that. I think there may be truth to the rumor that Atlus are bringing Persona 4 and 5 and future games to Xbox and Game Pass with SEGA as publisher. If I'm right listen for the sound of millions of gutted Sony fanboys squeal in pain at once.

Other strong leaks that may or may not come to pass regarding studios MS is looking at:
They have been after a Polish studio...most likely Bloober Team.
IO Interactive may be looking for a more long term home.
Asobo Studios, they will be working on Flight Simulator for the next 10 years anyway...so...

I know a polish studio with a hugely popular back catalog and a highly anticipated upcoming game...

I would be very suprised if they don’t already have that idea. They are desperate to get their store monopolised across the ecosphere so anything to that end is possible.

Microsoft is definitely making moves. Arent they messin with Tik Tok too. I wonder if that "project" is totally separated from this.

Hmm, Tik Tok gives them 100 mill users, to play their new games?

Sadly you're probably right , but they are getting far too greedy.

I just hope the next time major news like that are announced, the corresponding thread is opened by someone who isn't dyslexic.

I'm pretty sure it was 0X:00, and I would fix the title if you know.

This place functioned like a normal forum.

I don't know wether this is really true or some sort of Fake News, but since I had previously posted a "conspiracy theory" concerning Microsoft and Bethesda (post 110) being talking...
I just found this pic on another forum. Apparently the original tweet has been deleted.

If Zenimax and Microsoft were already on negotiations as early as 2018, strange how Bethesda dropped some of their big hits here this year.
Some gentle soul at Bethesda trying to make good before them being consumed by the evil overlord?

I'd rather Zenimax get bought by MS than Actiblizz or EA. Honestly it's the least of the evils in the gaming buyout scenarios, and the only one that doesn't involve Tencent, which the US government is starting to target in their crosshairs.
