2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

MODERATORS
Can we please have XCOM3?
I just want XCOM 3 and dishonored 3… is that really too much to ask for?
Technically, Deathloop is Dishonored 3. Death of the Outsider kind of killed the base gameplay premise that Dishonored 1 and 2 were built on, though, so I wouldn't expect a true Dishonored 3... ever, really.
You just need to convince Satya Nadella that it'll be profitable. Like, billions of dollars in ROI profitable.
Why? He's been pushing AI like crazy and I don't think anyone has seen an ROI on that?
That's why you need to convince, not show proof :)
All the original devs are gone, it would be a shell of its former self. If the original developers are still together somewhere, we would be better off getting a new IP.
What do you mean "gone" did I miss some kind of dev genocide after 2005?
Yes, lots of layoffs and devs just moving on.
Ah, so they still exist, but because they aren't still making stuff for you they no longer have any right to the things they created. Got it.
They have made stuff for me, just getting them back together to make another XCOM is very very unlikely. Do you understand how IP ownership works?
Why? Xcom has its first game released in 1994. The IP has been around for a long time.
Because the industry has changed a lot over the last decade and XCOM would be more likely to be dragged through the dirt than to be faithfully resurrected.
Technically we already had XCOM 3. Apocalypse wasn't half bad, despite the weird realtime/turn-based combat system.
