Microsoft bought Rare. And we saw what happened to them. Microsoft needs to create something with creativity from the ground up. They need an identity that sets them apart and speaks to gamers. They need a vision that caters to the consumer and the stockholders simultaneously. They need to allow developers under their wing have and use freedom given to them to follow their own vision as well. But this is not Microsoft, and they attempted to use that gaming facade Phil Spencer to convince us otherwise. Given Microsoft's track record in recent years, who actually sanely believes them?

I agree completely. This was never, ever, Microsoft at least in the Xbox space.

Sure by the time the OG Xbox was around they were the newbies trying to make a name for themselves, but 3 generations in, what are the creative hallmarks they can point out to?

A yearly racing game and a few ips that were outright bought from Bungie, Mojang and Epic Games?

Just take all that windows money and create something for once.
