I should hope not. Nothing is confirmed at this point but I wouldn't pass it off as just nothing. They did it with Rare. This would mean that KOTOR and NWN would belong to Microsoft until the end of all time.

Nonononononononononono.

I don't care of most of their games are on PC, Starcraft: Ghost is coming out soon, and I want it for Gamecube.

And maybe some other games.

Why doesn't microsoft just announce they've bought everything? It might just save time the trouble of passing.

There is a difference between Blizzard and Bioware.

Hooray! Board A-Listers are human too! Chill dude, it happens.

Seriously though, as long as it doesn't mess with the content in the games.

I don't think I'd fear this announcement too much - Bioware mainly specializes in PC games anyways, and they've done XBox stuff.

To be honest, if it was just a simple purchase of the company without any strings attached, it shouldn't be too noticible aside from a few extra XBox RPG's.

I heard that they tried to buy Nintendo once, but that's maybe was just an rumour...

Bioware? *Looks it up on Gamefaqs...*

Only done one X-box game as far, and there was a PC version of that game.

Theyve only done one, but this was one of the greats.
