I swear we need to let the CD Project acquisition go haha. They haven't given any indication they want to be acquired, the expense would be insane, and they're not a very strategic purchase.

Minecraft was a special case. Its as much a platform as a title. Its used in schools, to teach coding, and can run on everything from consoles to toasters. It has a different strategic purpose for MS.

EA's shows are bad literally every year, pretty much regardless of how they change up their format. Cus EA simply makes no pretentions about their show being anything other than for investors. They give 0 shits about what your average gamer thinks of their presentation.

Ryu thinks there's a 70% chance of MS acquiring CDPR, only 30% for Techland. Excellent.

The who now? There are astronauts in Poland? I know MS is investing a billion dollars and all, but there's no way that's enough for a proper space ship. 

I wonder how MS will space out their upcoming games, both Obsidian, Initiative and Playground will show off/Announce their AAA projects this summer.

i doubt that all will be 2021 releases Fable is likely 2022.

That's fair.

Seems like Hellraid became dlc for Dying light

I mean they did already say it was gonna be under an hour, so as soon as I heard that I really dialed back my enthusiasm for this showcase. I reckon it's gonna be around 40-45 minutes or so, with at least 10 of those being people talking. AC will probably get like an 8 minute gameplay presentation to itself, so that leaves us with maybe 20-25 odd minutes of other stuff...tops. 

If MS makes any other aquisitions, Asobo studios is at the top of my list, followed by a Japanese developer. Blooper team would be a good get too.

TLOU2 was indefinitely delayed too lol
