I would feel bad for Microsoft since they bought a company that only knows how to make shovelwares.

At least the glorious third party support will be worth it. Except Naughty Dog. They are perfect.

I know who it is your poking at ...  

@OT Not much as I hope Microsoft isn't stupid enough to ruin a good business and brand ...

I poke out at their double standards, not their first party studios. But they do suck, except for ND...

Id ask myself how did MS bought a Japanese company in the first place? then someone would hit me in the head again and I went to sleep again.

They did the same way they'd buy any other company, with a truckload of cash...

I would laugh that a smaller company bought the bigger one.

You're not messing with the Studio. You're messing with the whole company. This is the same company that was able to bail out Greece if they wanted and the same company that has the money to annex Tokyo. 

 

Sony Corp is currently bigger then MS Corp. It may change in the next few years. And of course MS makes more money then Sony. But to acquire Sony Corp would be absolutely massive.

It would be like GM buying Toyota. More then doubling your employment, revenues, etc.

I would laugh because its not possible. Japan has laws in place protecting certain major corporations from international buyouts last I read. Then I would probably quit gaming, or go pc gaming.



Make games, not war (that goes for ridiculous fanboys)

I may be the next Maelstorm or not, you be the judge http://videogamesgrow.blogspot.com/  hopefully I can be more of an asset than a fanboy to VGC hehe.

Open my pc and play fallout 4, then go to work, chat some girls there, be rejected and come back home to kill myself, die, resurrect and play some fallout 4



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

The real question is, would they use the Xbox brand or the Playstation brand for gaming :-O

It'll be like when WWE bought WCW. 

 

I'd say rip Playstation and the industry. 

Good analogy. And it will happen to MS the thing that happened to WWE afterwards. They'll have no prominent competition, they'll try to release the PlayStation name as a separate entity to do some competition and fail, there will be monthly releases of the same game and people will hate it, there will be a couple of franchises the people will fall in love with... and then they'll go all digital and offer their games on a streaming service for $9.99 a month.

 


Yeah. They'll create a glorified indie studio (NXT)which would end up creating better games than the main AAA studios too.

Rejoice.
Now PlayStation might actually have a decent OS and decent user interface.



Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.

well, go to sleep and try to think maybe just a click bait article, and then after the second time, try to find more info on Internet, then go to forum and look how people react, and then contacting friend, and spread the news, after that, feeling sad but then back to normal by playing game on PC while planing to sell all PS4 games as possible lol . Then will never return on gaming forum for 3 years or 5 years.
