Yes money has never convinced anyone to sell anything.

It’s probably playful, especially since they are AA and have been having money troubles
All he said was the IP wasnt hype AAA stuff. Most independent studios aren’t going to own AAA IP.

Money. That is the only thing that matters, and Nordisk Film doesn’t care about gaming per se. Egmont, who is the real owner, is a media company that invests in a lot of studios here but Avalanche is the only one they own. They also only care about money.

What if they brought out there stakes…
I’d imagine so?
I’d like it to be Asobo because of the history with Microsoft/Xbox and I think there’s a ton of potential there, but they seem like an AAA developer at this point. Plus their fairly recent financial developments suggest it’s probably not them. One day hopefully it happens.
Maybe Playful? I think NSLT is a great game and there is definitely room on Game Pass for more family-friendly platformers. With the right culture development and resources, they could build themselves up again.
Frontier Developments has a history with Xbox and would be a great pickup with some good IP, especially for the PC space. They also fit the family-friendly category. I’d love to see them revive Viva Pinata!
Other possibilities I’d be interested in include Hello Games and Giant Sparrow. The Ascent is also looking really good, so picking up Neon Giant could be a good idea.

Edit : If that means King of Fighters XV on Xbox and more Samurai Shodown, I’m okay with that.

Oh no, not by any means. As I’ve always said, these things take some time, and while it would be awesome for a big acquisition nuke drop at E3, I definitely would not go in expecting them for this go round.

My dream acquisition will always be Bungie. I want them back in the fold. Otherwise, I am in for any surprises during E3 and the rest of the year.
Bungie is a great name but I can only imagine the headache with the Halo Franchise and 343 already.
Whole load of nothing folks, people need to stop listening to what Twitter personalities say
I am more interested in their next IP and where they are taking Destiny. If they never touched Halo again I am okay with that.
