A post called Firaxis rumour confirmed on The Gaming Lounge has what they are calling confirmation of rumors that a deal is in the works whereby Firaxis would acquire the rights to the X-Com series of UFO combat strategy games that have arguably achieved cult status, along with Infogrames' other legacy Microprose titles. They cite a messageboard post by Julian Gallop as proof of what's going on, offering this Q&A with Firaxis' Sid Meier as further weight to the story, which they first reported on a while back.
