I would much rather Nintendo buy out Sonys gaming division assets than Microsoft. At least it would be in creative hands. |
You see, if MS were to buy a creative company, then MS in turn becomes creative by default. Since, you know, they would employ creative people for their purposes only

No. Rare has proven otherwise. Microsoft could buy all the creative companies in the world and wouldnt have a creative bone in their bodies simply because as a company they aren't creative. Their goals dont revolve around involving themselves in creativity, but rather owning products ghosts of creative companies once had. Its like having a zombie rather than the living being under your control
Nintendo has entities who could creatively control IP. Rare was better controlled by Nintendo collaboratively than Microsoft. Donkey Kong country, Goldeneye, Banjo Kazooie? Nintendo gave creative input and watched out for creative control back in those days even though the two companies no longer saw eye to eye
Its the same reason Bungie wanted out from Microsoft. All they want to do is rehash the same game instead of allowing their companies to be creative and develop new content. Its halo forever.

Id call that job security lol. I wouldn't base all future assumptions on Rare and Rare alone. Fable 1 and 2 were pretty creative. That magic could always come back, hopefully in 2015. Project Spark......this doesn't change your mind in the slightest? MS can easily make or buy a new studio with the explicit instructions to "be creative" ;P

Microsoft cannot make a studio be creative. They hire creative minds who by default are creative and work for things they take credit for. Microsoft as company, creatively thinks no different than EA. They are suits and people have to teach them how to be creative. I go to an art school and our heads are suits. They dont really know about creativity but if you teach them, they'll eventually see what you're talking about. Artistically speaking they have no conscience. Sony and Nintendo surround their walls of their offices with creativity, so the whole branch is creative of SCEA and Nintendo. its as easy as that. You dont need to agree, just look at the products and the way they run things for yourself.
