Major Game Companies Bid For 3DO Assets

Posted by simoniker on from the wolves-have-attorneys-and-large-deposits dept.

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to a Reuters/Yahoo report revealing that seven video game companies have qualified to bid in the auction for the assets of bankrupt publisher 3DO Co. The assets of the recently defunct developer/publisher are being displayed at the 3DOinfo.com website, and the article indicates that "In a notice filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in San Francisco, 3DO's attorneys said Microsoft, Eidos, Ubi Soft, JoWooD Productions Software AG, Namco Hometek Inc., Turbine Entertainment Software Corp. and Crave Entertainment filed by Wednesday's deadline to bid in the Aug. 14 auction." Their specific targets weren't revealed, but it's easy to speculate that companies such as Turbine might be interested in the Heroes Of Might And Magic license - other assets up for sale include High Heat Baseball and Army Men.

    I'm not trolling you; I merely corrected you on what the best baseball game out there right now is. We both know this is true. You then responded that you were limiting your survey to the PC market. Now, this was not evident in your original post and I merely wanted to inform you that in your future encounters with humans, you should try to be a bit more clear. I am doing this for you son.

    (No. Do you?)

    Here's the thing about Heroes of Might and Magic: it was for pussies. All these fucking games that are faggy like that are really designed for the guys that can't get laid. I mean, come on. Here's a list of faggy games from least faggy (but still faggy) to most faggy.

    1. Starcraft - very homosexual, people play for a long time because they have nothing better to do.
    2. Final Fantasy Series - again, another game where you spend way too much time doing mundane things like talking to animals and butt-fucking men.
    3. Everquest - holy shit!, be gay in really large groups and pretend you're not a pathetic loser living in your pants basement but instead a great warrior. HORSESHIT!
    4. Heroes of Might and Magic - dice-rolling faggotry without the dice
    5. Full Throttle - I place it this high in the faggy list because of all the fanboys who can't stop saying who good it was. Get a fucking life and buy a game this decade for Christ's sake, you fucking fucktards.

    There are more, perhaps I'll write something in my journal that chronicles the most homosexual games of all time. I'll call it something subversive that won't upset the liberals though - like biggest social life killers for faggots with AIDS...wait, maybe that's no good either. I'll be working on this.
