Mike Wehner, journalist of Daily Dot, TUAW and USA Today:

Hey tech/Apple/games fans. Prepare your Twitter b-holes for Friday. It's going to be a bloodbath.

Mark it on your calendar and you'll see.

https://twitter.com/MikeWehner/status/559815623803678720

So what's this all about? :O

Update: The tweet has been deleted for unknown reasons conspiracy.gif

Update 2: The tweet was apparently related to the AOL layoffs hitting Engadget (tech), TUAW (Apple) and Joystiq (games). The latter two sites will be closed down.

bunny hole, you know like "down the rabbit hole" except he used bunny instead of rabbit...

Syf · Jan 26, 2015

Clearly they're buying Sega.

Captainbojanglesiii · Jan 26, 2015

Finally, a Pippin successor

Apple's own mobile game console. Like the Ouya, but for Apple's app store? A new line of games?

Wario64 · Jan 26, 2015

Wow can't wait

halfbeast · Jan 26, 2015

Wondering the same thing.

I could dig that

Tregard · Jan 26, 2015

Infinity Blade MMO

Mr. RPG · Jan 26, 2015

Shenmue III incoming?

deltatheta · Jan 26, 2015

Probably just apps on Apple TV and an $80 controller.

RedAssedApe · Jan 26, 2015

since when has apple made a surprise announcement without announcing an event thing well in advance?

pinkurocket · Jan 26, 2015

The Last Guardian confirmed iOS exclusive.

darkside31337 · Jan 26, 2015

Are they finally updating Apple TV? Thought it'd never happen.

No matter what he meant, the "words" b-hole and bloodbath sound like something I may want to avoid.

Interfectum · Jan 26, 2015

Real Guess: Apple TV can play games and apps natively using iphone/ipad as controller.

Crazy Guess: Apple buys Nintendo

Reclaimer. · Jan 26, 2015

Please no, stay away Apple.

Hydrargira · Jan 26, 2015

Collaboration between Apple and Nintendo resulting in total world domination

Jonboy · Jan 26, 2015

Interesting. Can't wait to see what it is. Been feeling like this was a missed opportunity for apple for years.

A dedicated controller with proper support would do wonders for their appeal with hardcore gamers.

IIRC, that's already possible.

Phii · Jan 26, 2015

Final design of their gamepad controller maybe?

Guymelef · Jan 26, 2015

Pippin 2.

AdanVC · Jan 26, 2015

Flappy Bird x Half-Life 3 confirmed.

Kurdel · Jan 26, 2015

Why would Apple make any announcements on a Friday?

Tuesday/Wednesday or bust

I hope they got HAM on anime games again. Dat Bandai connection.

ClearData · Jan 26, 2015

I'd imagine sticking an Intel CPU and a decent Nvidia mGpu into the Apple TV or the latter into Mac Mini would give them a respectable gaming foothold.

If we're doing that I'm going to say Fallout 4, Mac exclusive.

It's just as likely

Through Airplay, right? Lots of input lag.

Butt-hole. Either Apple is going to tap that ass, or you're going to shit blood.

Halo is finally coming back home.

Angrier Birds.

SodiumBenzoate · Jan 26, 2015

some sort of controller for ipad gaming?

deltatheta said:

yep sounds right, make it $99 though

Anion · Jan 26, 2015

Maybe he us being sarcastic.
I'm sure they would get sued for inciting a bloodbath

I would love native x360 controller support on mac

Servbot24 · Jan 26, 2015

In my perfect world I can play all my games on the Apple ecosystem. Apple could buy Nintendo and Sony and I'd be a happy camper

They wouldn't do that when their computers still use the 7xxM cards.

A TWO YEAR OLD mobile GPU.

Somnid · Jan 26, 2015

Twitter-based rumor on a Friday with no leadup? Some third party bullshit.

Hawaii Jeff · Jan 26, 2015

I REALLY don't need yet another platform or game delivery service.

Sayers · Jan 26, 2015

They're making a $100 Android-based set top streaming box that can also play games.

The Omega Man · Jan 26, 2015

Finally, Mr. Fumito Ueda secret project will be revealed: The iGuardian*

*Exclusively on apple devices

entremet · Jan 26, 2015

Better legacy support please. I'm tired of broken games due to iOS updates.

LCfiner · Jan 26, 2015

Apple doesnt do big news events on Fridays and they always give one or two weeks notice.

So if theres any announcement, its either really small (Press release only) or some other company is making a game/tech/whatever announcement.

And burying that on a Friday would be odd, too. Unless it was bad news.

eh

Fhtagn · Jan 26, 2015

Apple only announces truly major stuff on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, so this is either bs, an acquisition, or a third party thing that's not really about Apple even if it's Apple related.
