Seeing that Microsoft has purchased Blizzard, I looked for some other recent game company purchases or deals.
Daybreak Games – the company who owns EverQuest, EverQuest2, Planetside2, and DC Universe Online (all with recent expansions), and who publishes Lord of the Rings Online and Dungeons and Dragons Online – just made a deal with Wizards of the Coast to handle publishing, development, and support for Magic: The Gathering Online.
MS isn’t the only company gobbling up legacy games and keeping them alive.
