darylbaxter, 10 months ago So the rumours were true. However, even now, people remember how #RARE was treated by #Microsoft, and I do think that's a big reason why they're still on the backfoot with players when they announce yet another acquisition. To me, they believe in numbers, not how fun a game can be. https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/26/23774482/microsoft-sega-bungie-acquisition-targets-internal-email-xbox

craiggrannell, 10 months ago @darylbaxter Well, I do remember when people kept saying the Xbox was really the next Dreamcast. So MS eating Sega makes sense.

darylbaxter, 10 months ago @craiggrannell Yeah I remember that too - just a different era now though, similar in name but completely different folks in charge!
