Netherrealm acquisition with MK Ip would cause the most of meltdowns, another one would be SEGA.

FromSofware, Square, or CAPCOM would cause the most imo.

True, but we are forgetting Valve, if Microsoft acquire them, not only console gamers would be mad, the PC crowd would be furious. 
No
Or, you know, they have a subscription service to grow.

Here’s the thing with verification processes. Often, they’re asking people to share how or why they would be in a position to know something. Often, folks don’t want to do that. Sometimes it might be because they don’t want to risk their source or themselves for internet cred. Other times, it may be that they’re full of shit.
So, wanna be all “insidery”? (It’s a word!!!*) Cool! If it’s bullshit, moderation action will be taken on your account. Fair? I think so.
So as always, take it with your preferred dose of salt.
*It’s not a word.

One thing is for sure: we need some news from Microsoft, because we’re cycling through the usual acquisition talking points pretty quickly at this point…
Haven’t posted in a hot minute, but this thread looks fun as hell lmao

Despite their purchase, Sony is still not all in on PC gaming. A Valve acquisition when you aren’t all in on PC gaming doesn’t make much sense.

I’ll be quite honest, I am confident in what I said. I will also be quite honest that I shared it here because we all talk on a daily basis about this stuff and I wanted to pass along what I was hearing from good reliable sources to people I enjoy talking about this stuff with.
I don’t care for internet cred and certainly didn’t think people would be posting about it other places. I will not be sharing things I hear no matter how reliable because it’s now clear that I’m not just sharing with people on this forum. Sorry to mods for also putting them in a no win situation.

A valve purchase when you don’t have the money for it doesn’t make sense either. Sony can’t play this big boy game.

Hey, thanks for sharing what you know. We’re all good people here and we enjoy each others company.
It takes SERIOUS guts to do what you did, even sharing with us here. We appreciate it.
But yeah, people troll forums like these and OtherERA (more so here because of @Shpeshal_Nick ) so some people will take anything we say and run with it on GamingLeaksAndRumors among other places.
Glad you shared with us though. Don’t be ashamed. You should be proud that you have such connections and confidence to share what you’ve heard.

All this acquisition talk is getting too serious. I believe MS will have do more acquisition not because I’m an insider but because MS has said they will do more. MS always does what they say. ie MS Office everywhere, moving to cloud, support opensource…
