http://apnews.myway.com//article/20030228/.../D7PF... Microsoft or EA are interested..... Please say it ain't so!!!!  I could cry if one of those two got them. I'm not sure which would be worse though | ||||

| If either were to buy them, I'd have to say Microsoft. EA has always hated Sega. Not that I want either to happen. | ||||

If MS was smart they'd spend big bucks on the Sega. That alone could really push the XBox. Then the XBox would pretty much become the DC2 (except for the shape & color  ) | ||||

I might accept Microsoft buying Sega.. BUT NOT 'EA'.. ANYTHING BUT 'EA. I HAVE HATED 'EA' SINCE THEY SCREWED SATURN OWNERS WITH CRAP GAMES LIKE FIFA SOCCER 96, 97 and 98. ANYTHING 'EA' MAKE NOWADAYS IS UTTER SHITE.. JUST LOOK AT C&C GENERALS.. PATHETIC... IT WOULD BE IN SEGA'S BEST INTEREST IF THEY WERE BOUGHT BY M$, NOT EA. CAP'S LOCK MAN .. OUT. | ||||

| EA isn't all bad. They've done some great stuff in the past. Many of my favorite Genesis games are EA. And their NHL games are top notch (though I haven't tried 2003). I've seen them slip in recent years, but that seems to happen to just about any company that gets too big. I haven't tried C&C Generals, but I must say I'm not at all impressed. I have no desire to pick it up and I'm a huge fan of Red Alert 2 and the other C&C games (sans Renegade and Tiberian Sun). I don't think I'd like to see them buy Sega, that's for sure. I really wouldn't mind if MS did, to be honest. I'm sure we'd see a surge of Sega games released only for the XBox, making my choice for which console to buy next a no-brainer. But, then again MS has been known to screw up good companies in the past. I can't remember the name of the hardware/controller mfger that I'm thinking of though. | ||||

well hopfully if MS does buy Sega, they'll let them run as usual except produce only for XBox and moble systems. Look at Bungie -- they don't look like they're messed up yet. I think since MS isn't experienced much at games, they'll let the experts do their thing | |||||

I don't intend to direct traffic to another board, but there is some great discussion on this at Ars: http://arstechnica.infopop.net/OpenTopic/p...75&m=... | ||||

No, I don't want Sega to be bought by money hungry M$...  | ||||

EA's money hungry too --- it's called business they aren't just making games for the fun of it. Like many of the people on the ars post said, EA has a better chance of turning games to crap than MS. At least MS has a powerful console that Sega can use well instead of making bad ports to weaker (PS2) systems. Up to now, I was seriously thinking about getting a GC for my next system, but if MS buys Sega, an XBox may be in my future -- esp if the make it smaller and cooler looking. This is why I never buy a console in the first couple years its around -- there's too many uncertainties | |||||
