I don't think MS will buy Epic.

Note: I didn't say they wouldn't TRY to buy Epic, but come on, barring EA and Blizzard they've got to be one of the richest third-parties in the business due to UE3 licensing.

For comparison, Take-Two turned town a $2 billion bid by EA--who's worth more, Blizzard or Epic? (honest question)



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Blizzard. No company in the industry not called "Nintendo" prints money more efficiently than they do.

To add to your out of this world predictions:
Gamerscore can be redeemed for Microsoft Points
Microsoft buys Epic
Xbox Live Gold free


That actually is not a bad idea at all. Microsoft should go for that. Something like 1000 GS points is 10 MS points... Wouldn't put them out of business and would ensure all future multi-platform games are purchased on 360.


So you'd need 40,000 GS to get a 400 point game? That hardly seems worth it on anybody's part.  10MS is 12.5 cents.  I'll pay the extra 12 cents. 



Can't we all just get along and play our games in peace?

Elites with Blu-Ray free with pre-order of Viva Pinata 2!!

(Which if you haven't seen, has screenshots on kotaku and I am so so excited!!!)

An amazing exclusive game never known before that will change gaming as we know it (doesn't have to be good xP)
Microsoft buy Apple, EA and becomes the supreme software company ;O
who knows? Could happen :)

The only thing between MS and another anti-trust suit is Apple. MS could be offered the company for free and they would still have to refuse the sale.

Yeah, but lets not get carried away though...I don't care for dollar value but I'd like my gamescore to have a small amount of value in the real world...as insignficant and tiny it may be.
