First off good luck to Cliffy B. on your new venture , congrats on the marriage.
Epic owns the Gears of War IP, MS only own Publishing rights .
Also if MS did buy EPIC games & UE3,UE4 why invest all that money to go Exclusive with the Engine when they can benefit from the license fee that it brings .
If they did buy Epic they get People Can Fly, Epic Baltimore studio,Chair Entertainment, Yingpei Games (formerly Epic Games China),Epic Games Japan,Epic Games Korea, would own Bullet-storm, Shadow Complex, Fortnight, UR Tournament ,Infinity Blade 1 & 2 plus a few others games . that would be one hell of a buy & pick up for MS .
