by Maarten Goldstein, Jul 12, 2000 8:32am PDTEver saw those cool game stats with Unreal Tournament, or during a CPL event, showing what weapons players had been using, how effective they were and how many deaths and kills they had (among other things)? Well, the makers, NetgamesUSA has been purchased by Uncle Bill and the gang, according to a press release issues by Microsoft this morning. The stats system will now be used at Microsoft's Zone. The NGUSA guys will also be developing a SDK for the Xbox console.
Microsoft plans to add technology developed by NetGames to select retail games currently in development, including the highly anticipated ``MechWarrior(TM) 4: Vengeance,'' scheduled for release this holiday season. The company will also maintain support for multiplayer games currently utilizing NetGames' technology on Zone.com.

Microsoft makes a good product to compete with a product already out there (IE vs. Netscape) and they get shit for it.
If they can't win, they MIGHT AS WELL buy up the company that makes the good product, that way they don't have to spend as much on development.
Sheesh, you people.
When I hear about news like this I try and console myself by imagining the couple guys at the top who sold their souls, and how they'll be able to buy new grade-A pussy, new sports cars, new 5,000 sq ft homes, and new mexican houseboys. :)

A game like the original Baseball Stars was (one of the best of all time, imho)
Yet, a "fantasy league" setting to go with it.. cept you could play your opponents.. And it kept the depth. Free agents, drafts, trades.. All with made up teams and such, of course. Or real.. That type of scenario with any game would totally own me. I'd have to get a job working from home cause I'd be a nut.
