Seems that they gained maybe around only half of what they have spent, and even less. So it doesn't seem as a success in terms of business imo. Another failure by SE?
@Americansamurai1 I think that one is another hype as many predicted it would start as something like the initial verwion of no man's sky that gradually grow. So it make sense to appear as a day one game pass with the promise of becoming great after a few years!!!!
I don't like any of these acquisitions to happen. The only one that still stuck to my mind is if Sony could buy Square Soft back in 2000 when Enix first had rejected merging with them. Just a personal opinion that is still stuck in my mind since I can't remember when!!!
They gained a lot of respect for the Witcher series, which is imo the best series in the past two decades, but lost most of it after realising a half-baked 77thing on consoles. That's very stupid of them to mention their own greed again
Leaking is one thing but revealing years of efforts of a development team publicly is much worse. I am sorry for those who allow their pathetic ego to ruin others' efforts so easily. These and those scalpers deserve punishment imo
@KidRyan The case with Nintendo games is a bit weird. They never get cheap, at least in Australia. Here, even the used copies of famous 5y old titles are only Au$30 cheaper than the original price.
Why are people acting so dramatic? It was just a team of <10 members who were not successful in gaining attention by making high-quality games. So, they'll have to get absorbed to other development teams. That's it.
@themightyant I love that game too, but it has the record of best game no one played, of all time. They ported it several times again didn't work. No remake then
This and that Sega genesis, the two consoles that I found myself a fan boy for them! Ps3 started as a looser then tried hard to grow. I think the western exclusive titles saved it from the grave
Well deserved for Xbox. Making nothing precious, providing service that will be useful for who already have the console, and buying big companies to make up for lack of consistent production of great games. Also, switch market seems saturated at this stage, similar to ps4 four years ago
Yeah, as long as they make one high-quality game per 5 years and selling a ton of each, they don't need to add their games to subs system full of many medium quality titles

Re: Xbox Boss Admits Microsoft Can't 'Outconsole' PS5
I think MS tries to change video games from product to service, same as what they did with MS Office.
Not sure if this strategy works for them.
