Xbox Acquisition |OT3| 100% Organic Growth

Is the dude that a asked for WB everyday ok?

I miss the casual “but what about WB?” every now and then, regardless of what is being discussed.

But he is right though, from all possible purchases WB would complete XGS the most.

They could cover almost everything they are lacking at the moment. The genres fighting, family and action adventure.

I know it’s tricky with the licenses. If it’s going to happen, I hope it happens before the next batch of games is announced.

i remember someone saying something about dead by daylight on this thread it could be him or someone else

I just think they’re a prime acquisition target for multiple companies at this point.

  • They do support work.

  • They own and run, arguably, the biggest asymmetrical multiplayer game on the planet with Dead by Daylight

  • They work with multiple license holders to get characters, which makes them a prime target due to how huge some of those characters are (I especially believe Netflix would be interested)

  • They’re a huge Canadian team that also ported a mobile version of DBD, so they have experience on mobile platforms too

  • DBD is consistently a heavy hitter on Game Pass and (iirc) it’s been on it for years.

  • QA is honestly their biggest issue which is hugely important for competitive MP games. So even with the problems they have now, DBD is still huge.

Xbox support studio? Tencent is coming

8 Likes

speaking of tencent , they have been quite for a while now .

I mention a lot of teams. The ones I bring up most are Behaviour, Supergiant, White Owls, and Tripwire (someone correct me if I’m wrong here).:grin:

CCP activities do not help. Embracer is also kinda calm these days.

you know what , Im with you on this now . A DBD studio with 850+ devs that can also support XGS to release games quickly .

I would say they’re biggest issue is that sometimes the heads come off a little “we know better than you” to the community, but sometimes I’d argue it’s warranted.

I also recall Bethesda having a dispute with Behaviour/WB over a Westworld mobile game or something, so that’s at least some history.

Maybe they’d make a AAA Naughty Bear game!:joy:

Didn’t Bethesda have a big legal thing with behaviour interactive at one stage? I remember something about fallout shelter

Sony made predatory deals with years ago that resulted in their IP. Not any better for gaming. They continue to do the same practice. At least with Microsofts practice the studios gain value and get a nice pay day at the end of the day.

It was over the Westworld mobile game that Behaviour/WB were working on.

It supposedly ended on “friendly terms” in 2019.

Edit: I forgot what year it is. Lmao

Sumo acquired a studio 3 weeks ago.

They got that NetEase stimulus package to remain independent back in 2019.

Damn, I didn’t even know about that!

I mean, doesn’t mean it can’t happen still, but that does make things ever slightly more complicated.
