AceMcbanon January 25, 2003 Share AceMcbanon Member January 25, 2003 So this Vivendi + M$ deal looks like it's the real thing. Vivendi is about to be purchased for as much as 2 billion. Spokespersons from either company have either not been available or declined comment, but things look to be heating up. M$ has a good buy here, really good buy. Can you say "Half-Life 2: Xbox Exclusive"? I know what console I want for next Christmas! This is a huge move. I mean holy poop! You can read the rest of the story here and please note that this is from a respected financial publication. First M$ buys Rare and now Sierra, Blizzard and Valve! Wowzers! So as Microsoft continues to conquer the planet, I ask: "When will they start their nuclear weapons program?" I think that M$ is already more powerful than some countries... Story here So now they have warcraft, cs and Half life............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playaa January 26, 2003 Share Playaa Member January 26, 2003 one good note to all of this....due to the sheer power and lack of caring about spending behind M$........we may actually get Condition-Zero before 2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiRiN January 26, 2003 Share KiRiN Member January 26, 2003 the rare thing isnt such a big deal, half the people had already moved to other development co. and several got together and formed a new one which makes games exclusivly for nintendo, and also on top of that the 2 guys (think they're brothers) retired. so all MS really got was a name.
