That's what a lot of people don't get, M$ isn't looking to start and own a bunch of studios, they would rather out source it.

By the way, Welcome Back.

Nsanity : Oops, Guess we'll see you in another 5 days.  Guess you better not have an opinion when you come back.

saying sony fans have nothing better to do on a sunday isnt an "opinion" its an attack.

 

@OT: i get what these guys are saying, that MS shouldnt just buy devs for the sake of buying. and i agree, its better for a publisher like MS/Sony/Nintendo to get work close with a dev and help develop their talent and increase their teams, then buy them if their working relationship works. thats what Sony did with GG, sucker punch, and many more and they seem to be doing so with quantic dream and ready at dawn. MS seem to be doing the same with Remedy as well
