Looks like the rumours circling a few years ago that Microsoft was looking at acquiring IO Interactive were true…

Xbox to IOI’s exclusivity today: "We can’t buy your soul, but we can definitely buy your time and money"

Was just reading about this on Kotaku and came to post but y’all beat me to it :metal:

Of note to me was Microsoft saying that IOI has a “pattern of overextending” and “has not been able to ship a successful new original IP since Hitman.”

… really hoping this “online fantasy RPG shooter” doesn’t blow :face_vomiting:

Laughing in Activision/CoD (I know, I know, it makes a whole lot more money, but you get my point).

Couldn´t care less about this one, but I´m hoping the 007 game doesn´t blow. Speaking of which, some updates on that project would be nice…

RDR1 got rated in Korea in 2023 despite being rated back when it was released. Something is brewing.

75 MORE challenges is gonna keep future players really busy and with lots of modifier points to unlock.

I’ve gotten a little burnt out from the game’s rigid main-game progression systems to keep track of the current challenges but I’m excited to see what this final update might unlock for that final, “coming soon” batch of arenas. They were really darn fun.

Damn, Gollum really was a disaster for Daedalic.

Um, say what?! The original AC hadn’t had a digital remaster to more recent plat forms yet; online support for the Ezio Trilogy of games ending has cut off access to certain content forever unless it gets patched in somehow; AC4 is already exactly as it needs to be (just like the original RE4 was prior to its meaningless remake), and they’re planning on remaking a game that doesn’t need to be remade?
