Kane99 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 With the recent news of Microsoft buying Bethesda making the rounds, it got me thinking. Do you think that Microsoft will buy up any other studios? The purchase of Bethesda is huge, but any games that have already been announced, will not be exclusive to Xbox and will release on other consoles as planned. Future games though, will likely be Xbox exclusive. Anyway, that's not what this topic is about. What other studios do you think could be bought by Microsoft? And do you think Sony is going to try to answer with their own purchases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I hope not. My hope is that independent studios stay independent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 A lot of studis wont stand the constant platform hooping bassed on their own bootstrap budget. So I guess buying by microsoft and sony wont be bad for many of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARx182 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 When you get offered so much money from the perspective of the makers, it's really hard to turn the offer down. I don't think it's bad for the makers either - they get paid and the game gets more recognition. Win win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
