Xbox Acquisition |OT2| Something, Something, Snowball Effect

Now that I think about it…… A Plague Tale being owned by Focus Home (a private company) would mean they don’t have to publicly disclose anything right away… right?

Like selling an IP to Microsoft?

Dammit, Sunday can’t come soon enough!

Xbox Two has me hyped. I’m throwing my conservative predictions out the window. BUY EVERYONE!

Lol, I just keep myself in check by repeatedly telling myself “well, its probably not Sega”, then I cry.

This is the one that makes the most sense, but I see alot of people doubting it for obvious reasons. Still makes the most sense.

I feel like even if it isn’t at the show, there could be announcement not long after.

I just took a look at some pages and, god, so many hot takes and posts like “Obsidian is just a name anyway, all the talents left it” or “Rare 2.0”. Lol.

I previously said every Xbox Podcast mentions Metal Gear when talking about Microsoft buying IP. Xbox Two also did that today.

Nah, you don’t understand. I assembled all of the Dragon balls and it’s about to go down.

I got to be honest I didn’t go into that thread since I stayed only on the official Xbox thread, so I am not surprised by those takes. Plenty of salt in that thread it seemed lol.

We got to know that Microsoft bought fully publishing rights for Psychonauts 2 from Starbreeze Studios same day as they announced Double Fine acquisition. And Starbreeze is a public company. So, everything is up to the contractual obligations.

Wait…are you teasing CyberConnect2?!?!

I don’t think any of it matters honestly. Microsoft bought Linkedin and Nuance…two public companies with nary a warning. BIG, global companies.

I doubt the courts are going to make a heck of a lot of fuss because MS bought Sonic the hedgehog without disclosing it in advance.

“Mr Spencer, is it true you acquired the Intellectual Property Sonic and Knuckles without informing the relevent shareholders of intent?”

It’s just videogames.

…and LinkedIn was delisted from NYSE just 11 days after finalising Microsoft’s acquisition.

Nuance Communications acquisition is still pending. Not bought yet.

I assume it’ll be delisted from Nasdaq as well.
