I don't know how this will pan out. KI has been getting praise from the FGC. I don't get MS. This is the second time a developer that was working on exclusive Xbox software has been bought out from under them. Given their financial standing, it's a surprising trend.

the difference this time is that MS actually owns the IP.

True, but it's still an odd occurence. I can't recall a developer being bought out from under Sony or Nintendo like this. If Double Helix just handled the coding it won't be that big of deal. Before Double Helix was sold, it was heavily implied that they had significant input in KI's design.
