Shots have been exchanged between Microsoft and the FTC in the legal battle for the acquisition of Activision Blizzard, with Sony trying to avoid further involvement.
A job listing published by the UK studio reveals that its next project will be another entirely new IP.
Good. Something not boring, not one of those "make your own game" crap and also on Steam would be nice.
Outriders developer People Can Fly's next game has been canceled after its publishing agreement with Take-Two Interactive fell through.
"the capital group of PCF Group S.A."
If you're getting funding from a group that needs two different ways of Acronyming itself, things will not go the way you want them to.
Outriders was crap. They slapped that game together and threw in a loot system to get players' attention. This game was absolutely jank and the always online nonsense made it stutter like crazy. People Can't Optimize.
I liked Outriders but I could see where the artistic vision was compromised. The way the industry is now, it wouldn't surprise me that upper management would scrap something that didn't pull in money via gaas, mts, or other means.
The new Escape from Tarkov Unheard Edition has the community in an outrage after promising exclusive access to the new PvE mode for $250 USD.
$250? Do they not know all the other games that already exist or will be made in the future that can do similar?
This is for the hardcore people that have 2500 h in the game. They basically play that one game the whole year.
Oh and those same people are mad as hell at this... what a way to reward fans of your game and annihilate newcomers.
Read a comment earlier calling it a "special monetization operation." I had to chuckle at that.
That's not surprising. Of course they're going to reject it. True or not, they're not going to admit if they did cherry pick. Pretty standard response.
What and MS didn't cherry pick either ?
What's MS goal now? They have their acquisition right? Now fuck off
No surprises here.
When this all began, Sony would be foolish not to try to block the acquisition, even if the odds were against them.
Likewise, Microsoft is not going to pass up an opportunity to gain more information, successful or not.
Standard stuff, I reckon. If an attempt is never made, the answer is always "no".
Sony is wise to avoid further disclosure. To them this is a done deal, they reached an agreement with Microsoft for 10 years. It's the ftc alone still pursuing their case but it ain't going anywhere.
