PC M$ plunked down 70 billion to buy Activision Blizzard. The Fun Pimps ought to be worth four or five at least.

I have to admit that Zombie Clippy would be way better than Bent Metal Clippy... but I would still hope with every fiber of my non-zombie being that TFP stays independent and resists the buyout.  Besides, that's not even likely to happen until at least after 7DTD goes gold.  Which means we've got at least another decade or so...

So the future of gaming in 2025 is basically every AAA studio being owned by either M$ or Tenecent, it's boring AF. I mean at the rate these guys are buying studios lately...

Welcome to the Starbucks future of gaming.

Does this mean we'll have barista programmers, too?  It seems like a natural combination since most programmers seem to live on caffeine (I know I did).

One FPS Grande coming up. That'll be $80.

You know if we're going to judge by sizes, that'll be about 30FPS. Or maybe a fancy 60 FPS at 720p. Older stores may provide a bit of stuttering though due to older equipment.

And forget your gamer tag. It'll never be spelled correctly!

I see this kinda positive. The more studios/publishers MS buys, the more you can get for 10€ per month in the game pass. Afaik you can cancel it monthly, so no minimum running time.

Actually doesn´t bother me too much anyways, i played 90% games from indie developers over the last decade.
