I agree. I like Bioware and can only see MS as an asset.

Huh? THQ purchased Rainbow Studios, and Take-Two Interactive purchased Angel Studios (now known as Rockstar San Diego).

MS should buy Sega and Bioware, then merge with Sony and put EA out of misery.... maybe not.

Rainbow Studios pretty much got its start doing Motocross Madness for Microsoft.

Angel Studios, likewise, got some footing with Midtown Madness for Microsoft.

Buy them MS!

/me dreams of Neverwinter Nights, Baldur's Gate 2, and SKotOR as Xbox exclusives...

I like bioware's freedom of PC and 3rd party development. Remain as rumor and quietly fade away...
