^^^ Another alternative is for MSFT or somebody else to support a merger with another company, like Epic or Valve, and M$ takes a minority share and silent ownership.

I don't think it would be in either Epic or Valves best interest. They are both privately held companies and they have absolutely no reason compelling them to think about a merger. It would also be like Jonah swallowing the whale as they are dwarfed in size by what is a large publisher.
