Xbox Acquires Fallout: New Vegas, Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic Developer

@gamingdevil800: no it most def was a studio that had a game published and released by them

@gamingdevil800:

That’s slightly different.

MS has different leadership and new people to work with.

Bethesda does not.

Plus, New Vegas was released and brilliant.

Stormlands sounded awful and was not a good idea. The pitch shouldn’t have even been green lit. Obsidian are not great technicians (something that needs to be addressed going forward).

It was partly executive meddling but part Obsidian not being candid with their employer.

New Vegas on the other hand, was clearly a labour of love, and they got a slap in the face as a reward for a great game.

@gamingdevil800: storm land is being made by insomniac, so think ur mistaken on the title. only big name game i can recall micosoft canning was scale bound, but that had to do more with platinum games failings. think they where asking to rebuild the engine for a 4th time after releasing yet another big AAA title, just seemed they wanted to work on other games rather then scale bound, don't blame Microsoft one bit. it probably needed more time in the think tank b4 they started full production.

@mistervulpes: Says someone who has clearly never done anything even closely relevant, let alone built any Intellectual Property like a software product...

Products and IP are meant to be bought and sold. People just develop "feelings" about how they believe the BUSINESS of gaming should be run, like "Mom&Pop can run my fave IP forever, and it's magically cheap and easy."

So yeah; after 30 years of doing it (about the same as Feargus), I know a lot about it, and it's all relevant.

@Barighm: We can only hope, Disney will probably do something stupid though like renewing the deal or giving it to Ubisoft lol. Then again a Star Wars game with the For Honor combat could be amazing.

@Thanatos2k: That makes no sense. The game is a cash cow. When you have a cash cow, you love it, feed it, pet it and encourage it to grow. You don't say, well that was fun, let's try something else now instead. When the game no longer requires the entire Mojang team, I'm sure they will get onto the game they've been playing around with. Right now, Minecraft is putting large amounts of food on everyone's table.
