I wonder why SE/Microsoft is not listening to all those Internet Pro Business Guys Haters/Ragers out there who seems to know way better than SE/Microsoft people about the impact of a business deal... Those IPBGHR people also seem to have all the inside information required about the actual deal to make a clear and very educated decision... Come on SE/Microsoft, what are you waiting for, listen to those guys!

Look at SE's past few decisions. I wouldn't exactly consider them good at business. SE is a dying company. Each thing they do adds another nail to their own coffin. 

You know what: they certainly took the time to analyse the impacts of the deal (whatever Microsoft is paying vs development cost + not selling it on other platforms) . And without knowing any details about the deal, it is kind of ludicrous for random internet experts out there to judge that deal (you know, the one nobody knows about).

The frustration is simple and very understandable, the game is not out on PC and other platforms, that's it. Everything else about how bad the deal is for SE is pure bullshit, esp. with the little knowledge people have about it (including if it is a timed or not).
