Lol... Like MS gonna hire the bad ones... You really think you get hired just showing a resume???? And having SSM written on it???

SSM Quality development...vs MS level development. Yep....Microsoft would take SSM table scraps in a second. They can fix almost any game and I cannot wait for Sony to let them off the leash and create their own game. Once they are finished helping out with the Order I cannot wait to see what they will be allowed to make by Sony. As have seen from watching E3 for the past what...five years? MS takes pride in affiliating themselves with ex-Sony staff. Hell they even built up Insomniacs game right after they left exclusivity with Sony just because they were affiliated with them. They were so happy to have a Sony affiliated game as a multiplat.

in games maybe even though I could argue that MS has been in the VG business just as much as Sony and did some of the most renouned IP in the market in their niche back then with titles like flight simulator, age of empire, close combat, the madness saga etc.... and beside that MS is with google, apple, IBM the company hireing the best developpers in the world for the past 40 years almost... granted not for games mostly
not saying SSM is a bad studio by any means but you don't get a job at MS like you do at walgreens.... even in their VG studios...  so if they got fired because they sucked chances are they won't get past the first interview... if they get to that point...

Point being...MS is only extending their hand to the top studios and the word is that Gears of War hasnt even started its development but is rather only in talks right now, so I am sure its for that. Irrational studios and SSM are two of the top studios in gaming, period. They have been filling Black Tusk with allstar workers and yet we still see no new IP after what? Two years? They have more studios. Just keep paying for new staff. I know its for Gears. Their level for creativity isnt that high, but at this point I can tell that they want this Gears game to be the holy grail if they are taking from Irrational and Sony. Those two companies with staff in one place is murder to your competition.

Showing me all the great simulation and racer titles MS was involved with doesnt prove anything to me. I already know they are great at business. I've been playing Flight Simulator since I was pretty young. That has nothing to do with creativity and no...Forza and Gran Turismo say absolutely nothing about creativity.. If MS is perfect at one thing in gaming its publishing simulations. After their third gen they are still only good at the same things.Experimentation isnt very big on their list, but I am glad that if they are afraid of creativity that they are sticking with the devil the do know. Gears is my favorite franchise on Microsoft and Halo started to grow bland for me after Reach. After the reception for Killer Instinct one would've thought MS would buy Double Helix but Amazon got them. I am sure once some workers get laid off there, MS will take up the table scraps as well. They are good at it.
