I hope it's not true. There is little benefit to anyone except Microsoft with a sale of BioWare, and personally, I don't give a rat's ass about Microsoft.

If Microsoft buys BioWare that means you won't see their games on any other system next generation. Sure Xbox may have the best hardware this generation, but next generation they may have the worst. If MS buys out companies, it just prevents potentially great games from appearing on the best system.

However, I understand why Microsoft would want to buyout the industry. If the hardware gap balances out next generation, and it comes down to the games, they will be in trouble. Buy everyone you can, bribe the others. ****ty business practices, the gaming industry has become political, glad I won't be around to watch it fall apart.
