If they want to beef up their first party line up, then why did they sell so many studios?

they didnt sell any of them. it closed down both ensemble and fasa. and bungie told ms that if they didnt let them go most of them would leave.

They released them away then and were subsequently picked up by other publishers.

Bioware and Pandemic to EA.

Bizarre Creations to Activision.

Bungie is independent.

Ensemble shut down.

 

 

well, bioware or bizarre were never owned by microsoft they were just close 2nd party. like insomniac and sucker punch are for sony
