Ubisoft say they'd consider being bought if someone offered

Buy it and burn it down.

The website MobyGames was launched in 1999, the intention being to create a huge videogame database via crowdsourcing—a goal that it has certainly achieved, being one of the most useful repositories of things like game credits and box art there is. In November last year, Atari announced a potential deal to purchase MobyGames for $1.5 million from owner Antstream, and this deal has now been completed.

Both games will be remade using Remedy's proprietary Northlight game engine, which was most recently used in Ars Technica's 2019 Game of the Year, Control. In addition to a launch on PC, the resulting two-game package will be a current-gen console exclusive on Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5. This means the game could possibly flex the same ray-tracing muscles seen in 2021's Control Ultimate Edition, also a current-gen exclusive. No date for the game has been announced, and "The project is currently in the concept development stage," according to the press release.

Coincidentally, this news comes on top of Remedy's existing publishing deal with Epic Games. That deal guarantees that Epic and Remedy will work together to launch two multiplatform games "in the same franchise:" One game will be triple-A in scope, and the other will be smaller. No date for either Epic-related game has been set since that March 2020 announcement, and neither company clarified whether the franchise in question is new or based on an existing Remedy IP like Alan Wake.

Take-Two and Zynga have merged in what, for the moment, is the biggest corporate deal in gaming history.

$12.7 billion is an unimaginable sum of money, though it probably won't remain the biggest acquisition in games for very long: Microsoft’s planned acquisition of Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion rumbles on

Evoluția CDP e fascinantă, bun studiu de caz pentru cine trăiește cu speranța că vreun studio care ajunge popular va face altceva decât să se ducă pe pulă cu prima ocazie.

Noroc că au scos ăștia anime și așa au reușit să vândă și ei niște Cyberpunked 2017. Nici nu l-au reparat pe ăla că deja urmează remaster Witcher 3, remake Witcher și Witcher 4. Câtă lipsă de subtilitate.
