Being able to Google shit better than your clients is a legit career skill.

I'm sure that whatever they do with the company it will be as good as Star Trek Discovery.

Well, that just completely sucks. There goes those CRPGs into the pit. I'm sure we'll see some seriously dumbed down games coming out exclusively for xBox.

Damn shame.

I actually don't really like games.

Yeah, not news I was ever hoping to read, but at least they're not being purchased by EA or Activision.

To be fair, MS has been pretty good with its games division. It gave Bungie lots of freedom with Halo.
