Looks like Xbox might get it after all? Saber usually does multi platform. Unless there is something I don’t know about Sony going on in the background?

    I think because Sony paid for some of its dev funding? But also I heard it was cancelled or severely back-burnered.

    Sony was on some petty stuff with Jim Ryan trying to buy up everything away from Xbox, I wondered what they were so worried about. Then of course his famous quote got leaked about “I don’t care about winning, I just want Xbox to lose,” or something to that effect and it all kinda made sense.

      Wow. Did not know he said something like that. What a twat.

        Yeah it was during one of the legal proceeds in Brussels that happened before ActiBlizz was approved. The remark was made where there was no agreement of confidentiality.

        The exact quote was:

        I don’t want a new Call of Duty deal. I just want to block your merger

        ~ Jim Ryan

          What a prick. Obviously doesn’t care for gaming or gamers at all and just wants to “win” the “console wars”. I’m glad he retired. Hopefully whoever stepped in can be more open to working together.
