    Microsoft can definitely benefit from seeing farther by challenging everything that's against them because it's all in the game.

    Don't forget Visceral Games. Dead Space was the shit.

    Is it sad when Microsoft buying out EA is exciting because it makes EA seem less evil?

    Nice, re-breaking a grammar mistake I fixed 20 minutes before you quoted me. Also, grammar nazi, etc, etc. Keep grasping at straws though retard, it's fun.

    Re-quoting it. Doesn't look "fixed" to me at all(as of 23:10 Central).

    Apparently I've missed the time frame when it became such a sin to use "m$".

    Microsoft, who is the developer of developers,
    the publisher of publishers,
    the dispenser of titles to the lesser companies on the face of the earth,
    the shadow of God on earth,
    the Absolute Ruler and sovereign lord of North America,
    of South America,
    of Oceania,
    of Europe,
    of Middle East,
    of Africa,
    of Central Asia,
    of Far East,
    and of many other regions which his noble fathers
    and his glorious ancestors;
    dominated by the force of their arms and money
    and which his August Majesty has made subject
    to his flaming sword and his victorious blade, He, Microsoft...


    Happy now? You guys are trolling just to troll.

    There are better ways of bumping your post count. I am sure you could attempt insulting me with a single post.

    Oh yes, you got me. I'm artificially inflating my post count by making a quick quip on two of your shining moments. How could I have been so foolish. Now I will be banned.

    Also, woe is me as well for not having adequate post length for the new secret mod Maya.

    I kinda see it going this way.

    Microsoft acquires EA but does not stop EA from operating independently and developing cross platform games. Instead, all EA multiplatform games now immediately become free timed exclusives for Microsoft. That way the 360 or whatever the current console is, gets Madden, NCAA or whatever a month or 2 ahead of any other console, giving Microsoft a HUGE advantage over all the competition for the EA studio games.

    ^Its not going to happen. They can't really aggressively buy out a company, especially a very profitable and famous one like EA and ask them to favor a console "that way(like a fucking loser console fanboy)." I mean technically they can, but they won't.

    If they buy EA completely(not likely), they'll just get the profit.

    I really don't see it happening unless Microsoft would make an absolutely absurd offer. EA is arguably the biggest third party developer around right now(can't think of any off the top of my head that are bigger.) In the end though EA is concerned with their bottom line. So if Microsoft would make an offer that enabled EA to continue producing titles for other systems, while still making a large profit, it could happen.

    If I see one more person post M$ whether it be seriously or in jest, I'm gonna fuck some shit up. It's not even remotely creative.
