Those people were delusional. This was always a small side project for Ninja Theory.
Banks and big tech have nothing to do with this. You ire should be aimed at hedge funds.
Basically, this is Trading Places in real life.
@whitbyfox: Hello, fellow old guy!
@N2NOther: MS bought Zenimax, not Xbox.
Seeing the first trailer intrigued me. This is looking like a great game.
Seeing how quickly they reversed course, there must've been a lot of discussion (in fighting) over it.
@utopiancat: Revenue was 43.1 billion. Net income was 15.5 billion. Look it up.
@potatoseal: You wondered if the deal was paid off. Yes, it was. You asked what their profit was. I shared it. You then went on a tangent. Does everything have to be a fanboy argument?
Businesses are required to report quarterly earnings to their investors.
15.5 billion the last quarter.
You stay out of my head, Gaben!
That was dumb as f for them to try.
Plus, if you have problems, you can't return it to the scalper. lol
The Gold price hike was dumb, but you left out the part where MS made 15.5 billion in the quarter, or enough to buy Bethesda twice.
3 million subs each quarter, if remaining the same, would mean 12 million new subs in a year. Still pretty good.
If it's Ninja Gaiden 1 on the NES hard, I'm going to love this.
With those, you need to speak with your wallets. Judging by how much money Black Ops and FIFA are making through microtransactions, I doubt it is going anywhere. As for the $70 game, just don't buy them.
While it was good of them to reverse policy, it's still a head scratcher on how they ever thought they could announce this without the huge backlash.
And that is a perfectly fine, rational take.
“Previously it was just words...”
Yeah, words confirming it was coming to other platforms. Geeez...
