Alright, let's say that Rare suddenly consisted of the same staff they had in the Nintendo days, were given the same working conditions and freedom by Microsoft as Nintendo gave them, and were in every way the exact same company they were then, but their games happened to release on Microsoft systems. I'd say yes, because Microsoft would be an entirely different company in that scenario. Rather than the sort of company with a culture I don't like that produces games I don't like in ways I don't like them to and drives the poor talented developers at Rare away with their bullshit, they'd be a company that helped the Rare that was thrive and would probably also be putting out games I like, developed under the same philosophy of game design that attracts me to Nintendo. So yeah, in that case, I'd choose Microsoft.
