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.

You seem pretty defensive for some reason. Most here(even a majority of the XB fans) think this is a waste of money because that is just what it seems like....period. People are saying they should put more money into investing in New IPs because everyone knows that si where MS was lacking. Why waste $2B of minecraft? They could have went after GTA or something bigger. Although I would prefer that they just make new IPS like they are doing with QB and SO.

No hidden agendas just calling a bad move in a lot of our eyes what it is a bad move....your "of course most would say it is bad" comment is silly because youa re basing it off of something silly like PS vs MS or something. Nothing like that here even if Sony made this purchase it would still be a waste of money...period.

But hey maybe MS sees some potential we do not.....time will tell
