Maybe I'm incredibly mistaken, but I see the same people saying the same things. Did everyone just all of a sudden forget Microsoft Studios announced 6, SIX, SECHS, SEIS internal studios less than 1 month ago. Does that not count as investing internally. I guess MSFT isn't allowed to make acquisitions.

We don't even know what type of studios they are. I didn't even see Microsoft themselves make a big deal out of it, so I'm assuming they are pretty small teams.

Also another complaint here that this could lead to people who don't own a Microsoft device to lose an IP (similar to the game Rise of the Tomb Raider), while others normally acquire studios which are already exclusive.

How far back are you guys going to move back the goal posts. What I can say accoring to job listins is that LXP and Platform Next are AAA studiuos and 3 of the remaining studios are smaller.

Oh I get it MSFT is supposed to worry about everyone else while the competition only has to worry about themselves.
