@ThanosReXXX still a company with 70B market cap needs more (money and/or stocks) to get acquired than one with 40B market cap. Time Warner had sikko at size and cost 100B. If EA and ubisoft are impossible, Activision should be more than impossible

@NEStalgia ubisoft is the smallest of the big ppublishers, so by deafult they are the best bet for MS. MS doesn't need any hostile takeover either. most of these companies have common investors who can see the value in replacing ubisoft stock for MS

@ThanosReXXX Activison has 70B market cap, so MS can buy both ubisoft and ea instead.

@FragRed ubisoft is 10B in market cap actually, the other ones are between 20-70B

square enix is similar in size to zenimax and has some pretty good francises to own

I'm looking for a nice travel case in order to get my series x with me when I'm going to my hometown

let's hope that this mean EA will stop making star wars games

@LiterallyDoNotCare the only thing Phil said and that was last summer actually was thanks for the support.

We don't know where do they sell more games or where do they earn more money.

Also pc userbase is much larger than xbox, so sales numbers are not saying much about support.

@LiterallyDoNotCare nowhere in the article it says these games earned more on PC than on Xbox. being beste sellers on PC doesn't mean more support on PC.
you are just assuming this

probably Drake is Malcolm Reynolds on earth

@Bloodborne75 nothing game breaking for me on Series X too
I got stuck once while talking to victor and had to reload. a few visual glitches here and there but nothing preventing me from playing atm

same for me, I get the "oops, looks like you are standed" error every time I try to open the game page

they already have surpassed the pretty wild hopes from last July, so Sega is feasible. the same goes for capcom, konami, koeitemco and fromsoftware

Wildest: Microsoft pays 60B and buys Nintendo, releases Switch 2 with Zen3+RDNA2 next year, adds all Nintendo games to Gamepass and release all games across its hardware portfolio of xCloud, XSX, XSS, Switch 2
Pretty wild: Microsoft pays 4-5B and buys one of Capcom/Konami/KoeiTemco/Sega
Less wild: Microsoft buys FromSoftware and Remedy
(FromSoftware accounts for 25% of the sales of its 1.5B parent and Remedy has 200M market cap)
Least wild: Microsoft buys WB Games
and lots of rpg games

All their existing licensing agreements will be sold with them though and the mentioned price range of 2-4B might be based on additional licnenses included

@Link41x are american spies ok or you avoid them too?
