However, perhaps what is most important was not the fact EA was bought, but how it was bought. Rather than pay the full sum, EA was acquired through a leveraged buyout. Roughly

After giving it 2 patches and dropping it like a stone, Bethesda promises to bring Switch 2 optimisations to Oblivion Remastered on other platforms

Oblivion Remastered has led a rather odd post-release life. The closest we’ve got to a new Elder Scrolls since 2011 released in April last year, received a fair amount of acclaim, then essentially went silent. It twitched into activity a couple of times in the months following its release for patches 1.1 and 1.2, but

The project, a fully-fledged third-person action game by Team Kanohi, had attempted to thread the needle by playing nice with
