*Does the cabbagepatch*

Microsoft rumored to buy Bioware

Clicky

Quote:

The latest issue of Polygon magazine is reporting an unnamed source from within Microsoft's Game Studios publishing division as stating that Redmond will imminently announce the finalisation of a Bioware purchase agreed. The continued rise of Microsoft within the industry will, rumour has it, be confirmed at E3 next month.

Being one of the most influential and successful RPG developers in the industry Bioware won't come cheap, though securing future Knights of the Old Republic and Neverwinter Nights games as Xbox exclusives could of course pay dividends for Gates and Co. too. Needless to say, such a bombshell as this would be Microsoft's 'big surprise' for E3, and would certainly steal some much needed limelight away from the new hardware due to be shown by rivals Nintendo and Sony.

We'll find out whether this be fact or fiction soon, then.

Thanks to Tommyboy from the B5 for finding this story BTW.

There is no need to apologize. What time is it there?

Thats basically what I was thinking. I really won't miss them if they go exclusive to M$. As long as they continue making for PC, im happy.

Tycho from Penny-Arcade says on their page that he talked to people on the inside at bioware and they say that this rumor is false.

Re: *Does the cabbagepatch*

If I were in charge of a console, I would get as many guaranteed exclusives as I could. Wouldnt you? This would have been for safe measure.

You guy's seem kinda pissy today ;)
