I love this misconception that gamers seem to have about the Rare acquisition. If Rare was doing so well, why did Nintendo sell their stake allowing them to be acquired.  are was nearing a liquidation, so who knows if Rare would even still have a name if not for being bought by Microsoft. I just find it hilarious when people say give Rare back to Nintendo, when Nintendo basically sold them off.

Let's see how many people ignore this comment, as they want to stick to the MSFT killed Rare narrative.

In terms they if the deal goes through, MSFT is buying the Minecraft brand which will be a staple with the younger generation for many years.
