Forums - Microsoft - What If...

There are only a few What ifs for ms xbox360 this generation. Things where I think that MS made huge mistakes.

The most obvious is offcourse the whole rrod debacle. 

But for me personally, what if MS didnt sell Bioware (and in lesser extent Bungie and ended the halo wars studio). They still would have had big exclusives like dragon age and the rumours about mass effect wouldnt exist. I think that Bioware delivers 'blizzard quality content', something thats very rare, there are only a handfull of studio's where I dont even need to read the review to know that the game they are making is one I want to have and Bioware is one of them.

Bungie is not that important right now, and maybe that one was inevitable, but once they make other stuff than Halo games we might regret it as well if it turns out to be a multiplatform game.

 

Can you think of other what if's....



Around the Network

Letting go of Bioware was probably one of the stupidest things MS has ever done.



What if MS doesn't charge for Live ...

Runs away!



yeah letting bioware go was dumb but letting bungie go is probably fine. Bungie is still going to be basically a second party studio and has announced they are really only interested in making games for the xbox.



Long Live SHIO!

as far as I know Microsoft never owned BioWare tho they did publish KotoR and jade empire on xbox + Mass Effect on xbox 360

Biggggg mistake by M$ right there.



Bioware games are a NON EVENT in term of console exclusive impact.

FF / GT / GTA / Halo / Gears of War / RE (and the class AAAA title) are all that matters ...



Time to Work !

Mass Effect almost caused me to buy a 360...



Bioware was never owned by M$....
