InXile came as a surprise, since no rumors I know of were leaked. So who is making BG III now? Fargo said he knows, but it isn't him…
With the M$ money it is possible they can make better, more bugfree games, but being forced to buy on the MS store somewhat irks me. I'm no defender of Steam, but a forced fractured market makes everything uncomfortable for the consumer.
We will see how it goes down in the streaming market when Disney and the other Big 6 start their own services or partner up.
Similar trends can be seen in the gaming market. Amazon is planning something with Twitch (giving out free games each month, to ease the jump), MS forcing their store, GoG, Origin, UPlay, etc.
I'm not planning on installing 10 clients or buying 10 abos for gaming or streaming. Might well be, I will have to not play some titles in the future (like I already do with everything Origin or UPlay exclusive).
Edit:
It would also be nice to know what will happen with the Shadowrun and Battletech licenses which are owned by MS. HBS had its shot with the SR games and I wouldn't mind them to go to a new studio. Battletech on the other hand is my favorite game right now (even though, I play RogueTech) and I would love to see where they can take the franchise. Depends on what contract they got I guess.
