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.

LOL.  How often does this guy get banned?!  

There does seem to be a lot of thin skin on these forums.  I think you should more or less be banned for being CONSISTENTLY annoying.  Going out of your way to bash a system ALL THE TIME, etc.  But anyhow, what do I know.

Back on topic, interesting article.  I'm sure the art of managing game studio strategy is not an easy one.  They have their highs and low, etc. 

Once your banned, it's hard to not be noticed when you make any comment.  One thing for sure, the mods have been busy the last few weeks.  Best to stick to the topic and have a very middle ground opinion...

OT :  I still think that M$ isn't that interested in owning the developers, maybe just IP's.  We don't get to see the contrats they are signing for these newest games, but i would guess that a lot of them have an option for M$ to buy them.
