This might be why they trying to sell :D
I thought Madden Fans just wanted Roster Updates every year. I don't see how they've been managing to annualize this series for this long otherwise.

To be fair, I know almost nothing about Sports games and particular madden so take that with as much salt as you would like.

The only reason MADDEN, NBA, NHL, and at a few points before 2011, the NCAA were bought because of roster updates and "realistic graphics". Or "I have to get the next *insert sports game*, because my boys, homies, or friends are playing it. If I don't play it, I look like a loser!".

Well, it looks like the acquisition isn't happening. Take that as you will.
I do wonder what exactly was the point of the original article?

This is the same mentality that has people buying the same CoD games every year. You pay for maps and that is basically it. Oh i guess you get to reset your grind for whatever thats worth.

And before that point, it was GTA. And before that, it was Mortal Kombat, Doom, or whatever gory and violent game was popular around the time.

SS fans might as well stick with Atomic Heart, or the many spiritual sequels at this point.

TW: Extreme Cringe, EA cock sucking
Everything about him seems so fake and false that even a kid or most non-gamers would know something is off.
I'm really only surprised that Embracer Group didn't wind up buying it instead.
I honestly would not know who to expect to buy the System Shock IP. EA came the closest, but could not get the license, hence Dead Space.

Yet I have this weird feeling that most Microsoft created games will only be on Microsoft controlled or affiliated platforms.
The only reason Microsoft is saying all this, is because they have not much else going for them. Sony and Nintendo still have their exclusives, and yet both of are doing fine.

It will basically boil down to what console or cloud box has the most value-added features. That and Microsoft is likely ignoring the SMH-worthy irony that it’s just planning on Xbox being the defacto place to play in the future.

They must be that delusional and desperate. Microsoft ain't even living in a dream world, if that's the case. How about you lazy douchebags get off your ass, and make some original game without production woes, nor holding the developers back?!

Hmm, everyone shafted except the US. Feels very 90's.
PlayStation. For the payers.

Understandable frustration. Getting shafted by their own nation’s company.



Being consumer-friendly.Nice
