Not the same industry or circumstances, not a good comparison. Disney owns Abc.
Ea is pretty healthy atm as they broke into fortune 500. Seriously nothing would change,they’d still mismanage Bioware, because Microsoft. Doesnt dictate or change culture. Our only hope for bioware type games are casey hudson and mike laidlaws new studios. I hope im wrong and da4 is a huge success.

They could do that with any IP though. In fact it would be more of an impact if they did that with Banjo Kazooie, the game everyone has wanted back.
Hellblade plays pretty similar to Ryse but with better writing. The only difference to be honest is the QT actions and those were trashed by people.
Could you explain what you mean by this?

I think Take Two would be more than that tbh
T2 market cap is 19.9 billion USD, but yeah, MS would probably have to pay more than that to acquire them.
Don’t forget 2k is having more of a push into other sports like Golf and i’m sure they are developing a NFL game, so that would mean more revenue annually potentially
It’s criminal that there was never a follow up to Jade Empire

I think they paid up to 50% per share value on Linkedin when they acquired, that means 30 billion dollars for T2
So uh… Avalanche has an expensive new Studio in New York… Somebody bought it for them…
CBRE ’s Paul Amrich and Neil King represented the owners in the deal. It’s unclear who brokered the deal for Avalanche Studios. A spokesperson for CBRE declined to comment.

I’d love them to work with Casey Hudson’s studio instead.

I still don’t believe the Avalanche rumors myself. Just wanted to contribute something nice for the thread.
The day Microsoft announces they bough Avalance from Nordisk is the day I’ll live stream frying my gonads on a George Foreman grill. Just for XboxERA Patreons only.

True no way is CDPR worth all of Bethesda lol I pay no more than 2 billion for them and that being generous. Anything more than that and it not worth it they take forever to make games.
