Yeah I agree, it makes solid business success and they'll undoubtedly see great profits and sales with it. But as a consumer its hard  to watch them close down Ensemble and castrate Rare and then turn around and spend half a billion on Kinect. 

As I mentioned, MS still has Ensmble making games for them... as Robot Entertainment. And now they can make PS3 games (we could assume they would be RTS games)! 

I don't understand what you're implying when you say, "castrate Rare." I'm not sure what MS did other than buy the studio. Perhaps that studio just needs to get their shit together and this isn't so much an issue with MS.

Console rts games are abysmal. No thanks on this one. And I like that you say they can make games on ps3 as If that would entice me to a crappy console rts. As If you think I'm so blindly loyal to a corporate giant. 

Ms owns rare, they control them. And thus they assume responsibility for the studios success and failures. And MS made what was once a great company into someone who produces shovelware and makes avatar clothes.
