Electronic Arts almost purchased Bethesda parent company ZeniMax Media at one point, according to Bloomberg.
Take-Two: "We know there have been some concerns from Borderlands fans about Take-Two’s Terms of Service. Maintaining transparency and confidence with the community here is always our goal, and we wanted to address some of these concerns."
Do not miss the Final Fantasy IX lottery commemorating its 25th anniversary and see the new merch release by Square Enix.
I’m hoping Xbox Showcase will be where the Remake gets announced… freaking all this stuff with FF9’s anniversary and still nothing on the Remake…
In recent years, Ubisoft has canceled several games, one of them being a project code-named Renaissance.
No doubt I'm glad MS got Zenimax instead of EA.
Yikes, chairman wanted to sell out.
Although I complain about Microsoft on here a lot, EA would have been a hundred times worse. I strongly suspect Microsoft will continue to monetize Bethesda titles, but hopefully they won’t be as lazy and entitled as EA when they do it. The last thing we need is an annual release of multiplayer Fallout with minor reskins.
Alot of ya'll keep talking about "exclusivity", Microsoft stands to gain much more money leaving the games as multiplatform. Sure they may snatch some of the top tier games as exclusives or have them come out on their system first, but lets face it the Xbox doesn't sell well when compared to the other two systems. Microsoft is in this for the money so they will move accordingly. I don't expect games like Skyrim to be a console exclusive, sure a timed exclusive. Minecraft is a perfect example as to what they will be willing to do with companies they acquire that make third party games on both platforms.
