Not a good look for Microsoft for trying to close a $70B deal as they lay off close to 1000 people.

And MS is certainly a company that isn't hard at money, but well commitment to shareholders may severely limit or determine what a big corp needs to do. I'm waiting for VGChartz to report it, since even when a single dev that is a little well know changes company we get a news entry or when someone like Ryan or Phil gives an interview we get 5+ entries.

Hearing some rumours about the new Silent Hill stuff being PC/PS exclusive (or at least a limited time exclusivity window).

I just hope beyond hope that the games are actually GOOD. Konami stopped trying ages ago and I just want to see them utilize their IP for something that isn't slot machines. Nintendo or Sony should just buy them up wholesale, own the Castlevania and Metal Gear solid and Silent Hill IP.

Yep, game being good is 10-1000x more important than being exclusive.
