Would RARE still be as relevant as it was in the N64 days if MS hadn´t bought them?

It depends, the Stamper bros wouldnt have run off with the cash if Microsoft wasnt there to pay them. Nintendo and Retro studios could bring those titles back to prominance farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr better than Microsoft ever could.
