Fuck, those two are at it again. Hide your wishlists.
That would be a huge get for Amazon. I'm guessing a little less than what Activision cost so around 50 billion.
It makes sense. Amazon is the only other company outside of MS that has both gaming ties + $$$ to do something like this. They publish and develop stuff. They have Luna and twitch. Wouldn't surprise me if they make some cheap affordable console in the near future just for EA and streaming stuff. Maybe they can do a cheap handheld device.
All the IP they get to make tv shows is more than worth it for them as well. They are already making Mass Effect show now they can throw in another 5-10 shows to make. Give me a Dead Space, Dragon Age, Titanfall and a Need for Speed show. Prime has NFL thursday streaming rights so Madden could be in better financial shape moving forward.
Up next will be Take-Two and Ubisoft.
Ubisoft has so many employees compared to their revenue I don't how that can be pulled off. Wouldn't surprise me if they are forced to gut half of the company before Microsoft scoops them up after the Activision deal is sealed.
Google and Apple will probably fight over Take-Two.

I guess we will see. Not exactly an edge of you seat suspense, but oh well.
Edit
I should have known. Now he is a part of Lashman.co
They know their news covering.
Stock market manipulation? In 2022? No way
STHX kinda cut the wind out of my post with his more educated take on the turn of event, but...
There is a gloriously pathetic side to the whole enchilada if CNN is right.
USA Today: Amazon is gonna gobble EA.
Amazon: Actually, no.
Like being selected last in school sports team.
...
Uh, I didn't need to remind that

EA will be bought IMO, I just wonder by who?
They will be the premier first party developer for the Apple PiPP!N II.
Rumors about company acquisitions are usually false anyways. Too much risk for both parties involved if anything is leaked.
Please guys don't spread fake news, you could disrupt the market and I'm busy here trying to buy EA with my pocket change
That's cool!
I like especially that part:
Many folks think those previous ventures Valve had in the hardware space were only failures but miss the point that if it wasn't for them the Steam Deck couldn't exist today.
This looks really, really good. The combat looks like a fusion of Nioh and Sekiro. I just hope KT can work on level design since that's always the weakest point of the Nioh games.
The same is true for the Wii U leading to the Switch, the PS3 leading to the PS4, the Xbox One leading to the Series S|X and so on.
Oh! Edo Towns is releasing on September 5th (alongside The Ramen Sensei)
Between The Lords of the Fallen, Lies of P, Wo Long and the eventual Elden Ring DLC....
Souls like fans have it so good these next few years. And if Sony actually brings over Bloodborne + Demon Souls remake to Steam

On the one hand.
Soul Hackers 2 having a menu option to manually choose which screen you wanna play the game on is kinda neat.
On the other, it changing your primary screen on an OS level every time you tab in and out is not.

Hogwarts is a single-player RPG with no co-op afaik, so that really doesn't make sense why you would need to link an account.
Multiversus makes sense because it uses that for cross-play.
I’d be mad about this but if I bought Hogwarts I’d be even madder at myself for funding a truly awful person.
I guess not having FIFA anymore slashes a bunch of zeroes from EA price tag
I was saying this some times ago in regards to Ubisoft:
Other big Publishers have IP's and big developers you can name when talking about a game.
GTAV from Rockstar
Mass Effect from Bioware
Destiny from Bungie
Halo from 343i
Battlefield from Dice
COD from Treyarch/Infinity Ward
Civilization from Firaxis
BATTLETECH from Harebrained Schemes
Total War from Creative Assembly
and then you have...
Assassins creed from Ubisoft... Quebec?
Rainbow Six from Ubisoft... Montreal?
Rayman from Ubisoft... Paris?
Just Dance from Ubisoft... Buxtehude?
And with the marketing failure of the "Ubisoft Formula" (or rather the fast exhaustion of the Formula) you just don't differentiate between the games and throw most of them in the "Ubisoft Formula" trash bin.
they tried to do a Nintendo, but Nintendo Fans are a separate species.
The frustrating thing with Ubisoft (ignoring their work culture) is that they have a lot of great IP's that are laying dormant (Might and Magic), trying to shoe horn into mobile style money making machines (Settlers), the idiocy of there whole PC strategy and the fact that their "Big" releases seem to just come down to re-skins of the same game over and over again.
EA can be frustrating, heartless money grabbing bastards, but they still release interesting games periodically and seem to allow their devs to go in the direction they want. Like making Fallen Order into a souls like game. Or finally realising they can make single player games and make money from them. Still wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw them, but I would rather play an EA game (now just stop releasing all your sports games as the last gen versions on PC and stop supporting Rowling and re-release Lord of the Rings The Third Age with a PC release).

Now change your name to Lash...wait
Nah, he is Whipboy now. The next one should be Slapguy. After that I don’t know, jokes of this caliber don’t write themselves.
After checking the list of games that Konami has on Steam, it's probably just games that they already have on Steam becoming available on their own store. For example, the Silent Hill tag would be for... Silent Hill Homecoming... :/
Yep, the phrasing suggests that this is nothing more than exactly this. Selling Steam keys on their own store for games that are already on Steam. Nothing to get excited about here lol.
Nintendo also make good games and while people shit on them for re-releasing the same game over and over, the "same game" is basically "the same Metroid game" and "the same Mario game" and "the same Zelda game" (though this one isn't even true as of the most recent new Zelda release). They are all distinct series, each with their own strong sense of identity which Nintendo plays around with for each generational release.
It's not like Ubisoft where Assassin's Creed is fundamentally the same as Far Cry which is fundamentally the same as Watch_Dogs which is fundamentally the same as The Division and so on, and has been for at least the last 10 years.

Urgh ffs, I’m more likely to get it on ps5 though but hopefully there that crap is optional
I'm having an issue with Soul Hackers on Steam Deck and the game just freezes and will not pass the initial boot after Changing the rez to 800p.
This has been a know issue for a few weeks now. I was hoping it would have been fixed by launch.

If A Short Hike's CE is still in stock when I wake up tomorrow morning, to hell with my cheapskate ways, I'm buying it.
August is ending which means the next content update for My Time at Sandrock will be released soon. Yay!
