General Gaming News II: Steam Helpdesk Site Leak

[Ker]

Microsoft's market cap is 2.2 trillion. So basically they could just buy EA but I don’t think they can avoid the monopoly laws for EA purchase.

[Xno Kappa]

Can Sony maybe just buy Konami and un-fuck the Suikodan/Silent Hill/Metal Gear/Castlevania/Contra IP's?

The yakuza would never approve the sale of their cash cow.

Honestly they'd be ridiculously stupid if they took it off the platform. The long term return on investment will be huge for them.

The netcode for the Dark Souls games was found to be even more of a gaping security hole then previously realized, and from what is known about Elden Ring the same issue with exist there unless fixed.

[Andalusian girls]

uh oh

1 month to fix or delay? can't imagine Elden Ring would launch with MP servers deactivated.

Huh, well okay.

This seems expensive for essentially one IP.

Microsoft paid about double this for Bethesda and gets a whole lot more out of it.

Seems like a knee jerk reaction.

[Krandor]

It's an excessive amount of money for Bungie

I think it's absolutely them trying to lock up one big multiplatform shooter to try to make sure Microsoft won't pull COD down the line, mutually assured destruction for micro transactions.

Anyone is surprised? The acquisition war is in full swing now. It's not slowing down.

[Ker]

It's gonna be a sad day when square enix and Capcom gets acquired by Microsoft or Sony or Tencent.

[Xno Kappa]

Whatever happened to Sony’s Killzone?

[Xno Kappa]

It's gonna be a sad day when square enix and Capcom gets acquired by Microsoft or Sony or Tencent.

I think Capcom is safe from Microsoft and Tencent. Doesn’t Japan have a law that says their companies can’t be bought by foreign investors?
