Support NeoGAF

[Dane]

ShpeShal Ed asked people about ACG claims of Microsoft buying another studio, possible broke the news by saying its quite sure it is Techland. Which speaking of it, was rumored back when reports arose fall's last year that Microsoft went to Poland for business.

This is perhaps what we are going to see... Wednesday? As ElAnalistadeBits said that something would happen by the 17th.

I thought Dying Light 2 was supposed to be having development issues.

Are MS mad?

 

[Kokoloko85]

I can live with this.
I just dont want them buying a Japanese company or studios.

That's putting it lightly. It was bleeding so much money, the bank got involved. Maybe it's fixed now.

 

[SJRB]

*sigh*

Could you not, MS?

 

[SoloKingRobert]

I hope Microsoft acquires Warner Bros Games next

 

[Craig of War]

Big if true.

Why?
Xbox needs more Japanese support.

How Japan laws works about that? I think an outsider company can’t buy a Japan company.

Edit - Seems like you can but there are limitations and special cases (companies) you can’t.

No point of that. They don't have IPs. Better to just hire the people from them

Some corporates in Japan such as Sony are protected from foreign aquisition. Not all of them.

Co-host of XboxEra? Didn't those guys get things wrong like... all the time?

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Likely fake.

I skimmed through polish news and there's nothing. Only the rumors from May-June 2020 come up and those were debunked right away.

I've got some bad news, when Microsoft acquires Zenimax media they will own Tango Gameworks.

You're too late.

 

[Bryank75]

Correct, they are sorted into tiers.

Tier 1 is called the core group and has companies like Sony and Toyota etc.

Nintendo is second tier.

Sega and co don't have that much protection as far as I know but can still be stopped by the government.

Acquisitions in general have a lot more red tape though.

Why? You were getting their games regardless. This weird chair leading for major publishers to buy up 3rd party publishers for games that were already coming to their console is cringe as fuck.

 

[DGrayson]

we should start an acquisition and acqusiition rumor sub forum

Releasing games constantly every few months on Xbox Game Pass for PC and Xbox consoles day one.

 

[Chukhopops]

I can see Techland needing cash after delaying Dying Light 2 several times now, but MS already has a Polish studio, not sure they’d buy another one.

Japan Studios are only purchased on Wednesdays, silly.

 

[ComputerBlue]

but MS already has a Polish studio, not sure they’d buy another one.

What does that have to do with anything? lol

 

[Oppoi]

Congrats if true. They fought hard for it and they have a strong enough track record to prove it. Keep on making good things happen Microsoft.

 

[FrozenFlame]

about ACG claims of Microsoft buying another studio

What was this about?

 

[Mr Moose]

A rumour from a guy who brought us this classic

 

[Bryank75]

we should start an acquisition and acqusiition rumor sub forum

Yeah, it's a hot topic at the moment.

 

[Bladed Thesis]

What does that have to do with anything? lol

Silly goose, you can only buy one of each type of Eastern European development studio.

Everybody knows that!

 

[Bryank75]

A rumour from a guy who brought us this classic

How does that guy get away with a name like that over there?

 

[Nikana]

I'm acquiring neogaf.

 

[SJRB]

I'm acquiring neogaf.

I'm acquiring Nikane.

 

[Allnamestakenlol]

They scooping up the low-hanging fruit now.

 

[dyergram]

I'm acquiring Nikane.

I’m acquiring era and re-hosting parlor there.

 

[Chukhopops]

One Polish studio: acceptable amounts of eurojank. Two Polish studios: jank gets out of control. Before you know it your pants go off and you’re t-posing on top of a motorbike.

If Microsoft buy Japan Studio.... This will me make have a heart attack

 

[eastcoastkody]

Dyling Light will finally be mine. that game never goes under 15 bux

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Dead island guys.... And thats it

 

[CitizenZ]

Been a rumor for yrs now. Lets try to keep up ok.

Also i heard this will happen next Wednesday.

 

[nikolino840]

Isn't the same old rumor that techland itself have debunked?

 

[GHG]

I thought Dying Light 2 was supposed to be having development issues.

Are MS mad?

They can get 343i to support them and show them the way.

 

[FrozenFlame]

Dead island guys.... And thats it

So Dying Light doesn't exist?

 

[FatKingBallman]

I think that another thread should be opened. Just like this one :

Microsoft are going to announce The Acquisition of SEGA next Wednesday

So,
Microsoft are going to announce the acquisition of Techland on Feb. 17th ( Wednesday )

 

[Null Persp]

So Dying Light doesn't exist?

And Call of Juarez.

its going to happen and im going to laugh my head off when it does

 

[Derktron]

I'm acquiring neogaf.

I second that bid

 

[Derktron]

So Dying Light doesn't exist?

Why not both?

 

[Concern]

I was about to say "in before techland sucks anyway" or some other dumb way of downplaying them but.....

Dead island guys.... And thats it

We're just going to pretend Dying Light doesn't even exist. You never fail to amaze me gaf

Releasing games constantly every few months on Xbox Game Pass for PC and Xbox consoles day one.

Well looking at their fp list that constant releasing of games isn’t happening for years. And a dev like techland isn’t going to be releasing multiple games at once either.

 

[The Alien]

I hope Microsoft acquires Warner Bros Games next

Still think they did/will.

Find it hard to believe that one month there is a $4B asset is up for sale. The next month, out of the blue, they just don't feel like selling it anymore (while still remaining heavily in debt).

 

[Mhmmm 2077]

Would be good, but I doubt it, lots of Techland's talent opened new studios.
