A billion here, and billion there… sooner or later it adds up to some real money.

WHY ? :joy:

Fuck if I know.

Because the fanbase shits on the best one (Nuts n Bolts), probably. At least, that’s my reason.

I think their next acquisition isn’t going to be as mind boggling as Bethesda or Obsidian, but it will be a solid studio that will make good games.

“need something badly for kids”.

Okay. Then just buy Playtonics, Playful and Armature.

Make a new Banjo, a new Lucky’s Tale and a new Recore.

Seems about right.

So they basically made the Bethesda money back and then some before the Bethesda deal is even finalized. Damn!

Smilegate replying to one person getting a bit carried away is…weird. Why bother making a statement? Also the “that would be awesome” screams they’re interested

They won’t really lose out on them, because the real Bethesda fans that only have PS5 will definitely choose one of the many alternatives Xbox offers. They’ll find out how great GP is, try out some more games and before you know it they are hooked on GP.

Do you think Microsoft will push for more family friendly games? I feel like that’s a massive problem for every studio that isn’t Nintendo.

That’s what Phil Spencer wants, so I would say yes.
