Thank god. I felt the Tomb Raider deal was a Don Mattrick's era decision. I made a thread about my frustrations regarding time deals http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=206286&page=1. However, I thought buying Gears of War and Minecraft ip was a smart decision from Microsoft. If you are going to do third party deals, lock the deal forever by buying the ips. Force the Gears of War and Minecraft fans to buy an xbox one over your competitor (playstation and nintendo). Also, when you do buy ips, make sure they're worth it and have a decent amount of fans following the franchise. Don't go for niche games that no one has interest in even if they score well.
