You wont notice there gone because you can still expect to be able to play there next game on PC assuming you own a Win10 PC. 

You also know why MS buys these companies right? to increase there popularity of there platforms, in this case Win10. If you don't like using Win10 that's fine, however that doesn't make Obsidians next game hampered or a failure, In fact it might be amazing now that they can obtain a bigger budget and support from a giant corporation. The only negative is to those who want to boycott platforms. In my eyes, I couldn't care less for those gamers.

I will play a good game regardless of the platform of choice if the game suits my preference. Just like Pillars, I brought it on Steam, and if there next game is just as good or similar than ill buy it on Win10. 

"assuming you have a Windows 10 PC", so yeah, if someone doesn't, then yes they will notice they are gone. I have a Win 1o license, but I am in no way using that horrendous storefront. 

They buy other existing IP's and properties to make themselves money and popularity, that's an absolute no brainer mate. They don't buy them for being angels or some charity case, hardly any massive company does something like that. Them buying them up means a lockdown on the IP and a lockdown to that userbase, assuming they will bow and comply with the obvious wish to use their storefront/system/OS and nothing more.

It actually does hamper their game, because it hampers where it's going and who it will be sold to. Otherwise, by the previous logic, everything, every game can be bought up by one company and not be deemed as "bad". I know you're more than willing to make an excuse as to why it'd be bad for someone else, but good for MS, which I'm not going to accept, because I truly believe that example given as being fundamentally flawed in a myriad of ways.

You talk of budgets, and yet I've seen plenty of games out there with inflated budgets, films even, that ended up bombing or not being anywhere as good as the money spent on them, so yeah, "bigger" doesn't always mean "better". Yeah, you couldn't care elss for them, which in likely return, they don't care for you, which is fine, because they can do what they want and support what they want, even if it means screwing you over in some way and I'm fine with that too, because I quite frankly couldn't care less what happens either. 

I'll play a good game, provided it's actually good and n not bogged down by a greedy company and a horrible storefront. Yeah, you talk about how much you buy from Steam and love it to bits, but your heart, your actual soul is with MS, I couldn't care at this point, because you talk about how you love both, but you clearly love one to the heavens and would love to see everyone else under it.
