It's time Microsoft buys DICE !

Hello smart people

Hoping the CEO or some high level officer reads it, because it doesn't need any explanation and it totally makes sense.

Microsoft as a forward looking company and switching to a very pro consumer friendly policy, seeing the enormous potential it has for their entertainment and gaming portfolio, it wouldn't want to waste time and rather invest good willed resources in getting
DICE more and more involved within the Microsoft and Xbox's line of products and philosophy ranges.

Let to EA, DICE is definitely doomed, this is a quite a certain faith. Considering the genuine knowledge and skill of DiCE studios, especially Stockholm, it would be a huge mistake not to initiate any action to gain ownership. It would also be a critical
loss to the video game culture and legacy.

Now Microsoft has the opportunity to get of one the most advanced gaming engine and profit of some of the most engaged developers and their community and fan base.

Not to mention the ability to revive legendary IPs like Rallisport Challenge or Midtown Madness, include their spirit in Forza franchise and spruce up some of their shooters with a very advanced engine, and even opening a new serie of real life based shooter
or RPG to enter with a heavy and powerful hand in this major market.

Actually after a thorough play-though the potential of making an open-world shooter out of Battlefield and Frost's Engine, something more and better than Just Cause, Mercenaries and Ubisoft's Open-Worlds like Far Cry (as a 1st person open world shooter) and
Tom Clancy's titles.

I really believe this will totally pay off. Economically, Socially, Industrially and Technologically

This would be awesome, but highly unlikely. Dreams can still be dreamed though, maybe someday the stars will align

I read you're letter and is time to Microsoft to do so and others companies.

that would be for microsoft and EA to talk about. DICE like someone said is a sub company of EA, they can't just go in and buy them outright. I think EA is doing alright given what they have as sub companies such as DICE and BIOWARE.

Thanks for the comments.

As far as I know, EA shares are sinking, and so are those from DICE. It's not secret that after Mass Effect, Need for Speed and Battlefield flops, the company is put at risk. I live in Switzerland, I talk to the employes from Geneva's headquarters. People are
stressed and definitely not happy.

I hold some shares and if I could I'd vote right now to change the administration council in favor of those of Microsoft.

It was also mentioned that a bunch of DICE and other EA's owned developers like Bioware wanted to leave their "home studio" to work for other publishers or dev teams. So even if Microsoft doesn't but DICE itself, it can absorb its root and assets indirectly.

Ahh dreams! There are a handful of developers that I wish could be freed from the EA bonds, but alas...

It's time Microsoft buys DICE !
