XboxEra Community Hangout |OT3| Setting Low Expectations

If you mean the deal that was announced last week, that was a joint venture and not an acquisition.

yeah they won’t sell gaming division separately, Apple, Amazon and Disney one of them will get it

So disappointed. :sob:

Ima be honest if its not with licensing deal none of those studios except maybe Netherealm or TT are of any interest.

Yeah, true. Which is why I would buy the whole freaking thing!!! lol

Yes - If it is somehow possible, getting TT and Netherrealm would fill 2 genre gaps (E-rated content and Fighting).

If Amazon acquires MGM, that doesn’t include WB right or does it? If not, then does this mean every aspect is being sold off individually? And if so, come on Microsoft, you goofs!!! Do something. Please!!!

Dont think MGM has anything to do with WB deal going on right now.

Isn’t MGM under AT&T? Or am I completely mixing it all up?

Just watched this. Glad to hear Jez got to play it instead of just watching it being played. Looks great and that mid air crash and destruction of buildings, holy shit!!!

Day One!!! My early August game is set. :smiley:

Xbox really hit a gem with the Ascent. I hope they continue to work with Neon Giant in the future.

would Apple (or Disney) even be interested in the gaming division?

There was rumors about Apple making a hardware with ARM, but who knows

Definitely not Disney. They shut down their gaming studio, and we’ve seen that they’ve shut down LucasArts’ gaming studio. They just seem to be happy licensing out their games.

Not sure about Apple though. We’ve seen them make moves in the mobile gaming industry but the console gaming industry? My guess is no.

As much as I know, there was rumors that Apple want to boost Apple arcade. But take it as a grain of salt until they announce something

Totally Approve this message.

Too many licences for MS, theyd never be interested due to this

While I appreciate the desire to comment, please use the thread in the announcements forum If you’d like to discuss further.

Licensed games is what potentially makes the WB acquisition remotely interesting Hindle. If not beyond Netherrealm and TT there is nothing to see there.
