Rumor:Do signs point to Bioware being swallowed by Microsoft Game Studios?

i hate microsoft. if this happens, my mood will only get worse. M$ started on pc, but we get shafted with shitty games in favor of the poor box.
 
If that happens you can forget about any more bioware pc games.

I figure they want to take it over so that they can make bioware focus on the Kotors of the future and other xbox only rpgs.

Man I hate M$ :puke:
 
[quote name='SneakyPenguin']but you love pukey. why dont you sig it since you put it in every post?[/quote]

Yeah I love the pukey, but I don't use it in every post. And since you bring up the sig thing I got fed up with the gigantic pics and animated gifs and just turned it off until Cheapy puts the sig limiter in place (if ever).
 
I just noticed that one of today's newsbox updates on Penny-Arcade casts doubt on this whole deal.
 
i think he did, but i think i heard him mention it only affects new sigs, so anyone that already had an oversized one can still have it. dont hold me to that, im not positive.

and to prevent myself from hijacking the thread, M$ better not stop bioware from making pc games. id have to assemble an army to raid their office and personally excecute bill gates.
 
I don't think it will mean the end of Bioware's PC line up. MS has to do something...they don't have the ability to push many first party games on the Xbox.
 
As long as Microsoft gets the Dungeons and Dragons license for Bioware and they are still allowed to make D&D PC games I will be happy. I hope they are working on a Baldur's Gate style PC RPG right now(they do have one or two unannouced projects).
 
[quote name='Scrubking'][quote name='st0neface']Nothing official, but Bioware seems to be denying it.

That article clearly states that they are not denying it.

Anyway, I am willing to believe this cause kotor did M$ good and we all know how M$ wants to monopolize everything that is good for them.[/quote]

They aren't denying it, but

[quote name='Bioware rep']"To us, it's really thin air," [/quote]

That points more towards them not being bought out, but for now, it's all merely speculation.
 
The Nintendojo article says that Microsoft is saying that they are contemplating acquiring Bioware, not necessarily buy them.
 
hey fatso, why do you even bother. you hate everything, especially anything new and improved. You should just crawl back into your hole and play atari all day because obvioulsy the original games of every genre were the only ones that don't suck.

I know, I know, you're entitled to your opinion.....but we already know it:

"everything sucks"

It's really getting old.
 
Thing is i don't hate everything.,

Plus most atari games suck.

and every single fps, car driving game and survival horror game sucks. Especially the first ones cause they thrust it on everyone.

It's really getting old having stupid people say i hate everything when I dont.
 
this doesnt hurt the pc guys at all, because the games will still come out. Xbox needs some serious rpg's and bioware will deliver. Why should they make games on other consoles when xbox is the most powerful? Team ninja has their heads screwed on straight.

Yea but Team Ninja usually is a beauty before gameplay type of developer ( DOA blows IMO although others like it)

and Xbox is never going to be rich in RPG's so the buyout makes sense for them (although I hope it is not true)
 
well like someone on another forum said, Bungie still is allowed to make PC games and I bet Bio-ware will also be allowed to make PC games. They just may be different or delayed like Halo was.

What is really getting old is your stupid ass spam and trolling.

Only 1/25 of your posts is not spam or trolls.
