    Rumour: Microsoft sniffing around BioWare.

    Not too much of a big deal as BioWare don't tend to stray too far from PC and XBox, (Though the difficulty level on MDK 2 for DC had me cursing them in places.) but the rumour mill has it that Microsoft may be looking to pick up the Canadian developer.

    It's certainly in character, Bungie & Rare were privately held outfits, BioWare being more like Bungie than Rare.

    PR flacks from the company rushed into the Never Winter Night's forum spraying weasel worded responses on the rumour fires, but the language was open enough not to rule out anything in the future.

    The thing is BioWare would probably be an excellent fit for Microsoft.

    Agreed. I wish MS were more able to pick up Japanese developers to help fill out those needs, but so far every purchase and hire I've seen has been very smart and tasteful. Bungie was a wildcard that paid off in spades, Rare is critically important, and now possibly BioWare, the makers of the greatest PC RPGs I've ever played. Nice. I hope this pans out.
