21 Will Microsoft sell Rare's IPs to Nintendo? (archive.ph) posted 157 days ago by AlfredicEnglishRules 157 days ago by AlfredicEnglishRules +21 / -0 22 comments share 22 comments share save hide report block hide replies
Highly doubt they'll sell IPs, shutting down a studio is one thing but they'll hold a deathgrip around IP all the way to bankruptcy.
Just look at EA for example, they've closed down MANY studios but still maintain every one if those IP rights.
Including games like Syndicate and Populous.
And Command & Conquer
And Ultima
And Freelancer (though that one is MS holding on to it)
THAT one hurts my soul the most....
Yeah, that does sting. Did you know Zelda was semi based on Ultima.
Duuuuuude. Syndicate and Populous (II) were some of my favorite games from back in the day.
That reminder makes me sad.
Yeah, I thought about when someone mentioned Assassins Creed Syndicate.
